<translate>

'''Blocking users''' is an action that [[<tvar name=h-sysops>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Sysops and permissions</tvar>|sysops]] can perform upon users or [[w:IP address|IP addresses]] to prevent them from editing the wiki.

==Blocking== 


Visit [[<tvar name=1>Special:Block</tvar>|Special:Block]] and follow these steps:
</translate>

# '''{{int|ipaddressorusername}}''' <translate> Enter the username, IP address, or [[<tvar name=rangeblk>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Range blocks</tvar>|IP range]] to block in the "User" field.</translate> <translate> Instead of typing this information in manually, it is also possible to click on a "block" link in recent changes, contributions pages, or history pages, which will automatically fill in this field with the appropriate username or IP address.</translate> <translate> A "Block this user" link is also present in the toolbox when viewing User and User talk pages.</translate>
# '''{{int|block-actions}}''' - <translate> Allows a block to be configured to prohibit specific actions, therefore allowing all others.</translate>
#* ''Editing'' {{introduced-inline|1.33}}{{removed-inline|1.38}}: <translate> If checked, the target of the block will be prohibited from making changes to wiki pages, including editing, renaming, reviewing pending changes, and other change actions.</translate>
#** ''{{int|ipb-sitewide}}'' - <translate> Prohibits the block target from making changes to all pages on the entire wiki and creating new pages.</translate>
#** ''{{int|ipb-partial}}'' - <translate> Prohibits the block target from making changes only to the specified pages and/or all pages in namespaces.</translate> <translate> All other pages can still be edited, new pages can be created, and files can be uploaded.</translate> <translate> Up to 10 pages can be added to the block, but non-existent ("redlink") pages cannot be blocked.</translate> <translate> The corresponding talk and subpages are not automatically blocked and must be entered separately.</translate> <translate> Specific actions can also be blocked (e.g. creating pages) and these will be blocked sitewide even if there is also a partial block on editing specific pages or namespaces.</translate>
#* ''{{int|ipbcreateaccount}}'' - <translate> Selecting this option will prevent the blocked username or IP address from creating new accounts.</translate>
#* ''{{int|ipbemailban}}'' - <translate> When this option is selected, the user will be unable to use the <tvar name=1>[[Special:EmailUser]]</tvar> interface.</translate> <translate> If an IP address or range is blocked with this option, and it is not set for anonymous users only, accounts logged in from that IP address or range are unable to use <tvar name=1>Special:EmailUser</tvar>.</translate>
#* ''{{int|ipb-disableusertalk}}'' - <translate> This option is only available if <tvar name=utedit><code>{{ll|Manual:$wgBlockAllowsUTEdit|$wgBlockAllowsUTEdit}}</code></tvar> is set to true; it is not by default in MediaWiki 1.25 or lower.</translate> <translate> In 1.26 or later it is set to true.</translate> <translate> For a sitewide block, selecting this option prevents the IP address, range, or user from editing their own user talk page.</translate> <translate> This option is usually ignored for partial blocks; to prevent a partially blocked user from editing their own talk page, the talk page must be specified as a page to block.</translate> <translate> The only exception to this is where a partial block prohibits the target from editing the "User talk" namespace; in this situation, this option behaves as it would for a sitewide block.</translate>
# '''{{int|block-expiry}}''' - <translate> Select when the block should expire from the drop-down, or manually type in an expiration time of the block or use the Datetime calendar to select.</translate> <translate> When manually typing in a time, follow the [<tvar name=gnu-std>http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Date-input-formats.html</tvar> GNU standard format] (eg: 2017-01-01 00:00).</translate> <translate> The default options in the drop-down may be modified at <tvar name=1>[[MediaWiki:Ipboptions]]</tvar>.</translate>
# '''{{int|block-reason}}''' - <translate> The reason selected from the drop-down combined with the other/additional reason specified will be used as the message displayed to the blocked user when they try to edit.</translate> <translate> The default reasons in the drop-down may be modified at <tvar name=1>[[MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown]]</tvar>.</translate>
# <translate> '''Select additional block options (optional)''' - Depending on if a username or IP is being blocked and other options that may have been enabled, some or all of these options will be displayed on the form.</translate> <translate> Please see {{<tvar name=1>ll|Manual:Block and unblock#Configuration settings related to blocking</tvar>|Manual:Block and unblock#Configuration settings related to blocking}} for information of how to enable or disable some of the following options.</translate>
#* ''{{int|ipbenableautoblock}}'' - <translate> This option is only available when blocking an account, but is available for both partial and site-wide blocks.</translate> <translate> When selected, the user's IP will become "autoblocked" (these show up as numbers such as #17 on [[<tvar name=1>Special:IPBlockList</tvar>|the active block list]]) for a short period of time and any other IP addresses that the blocked user tries to edit from will be blocked as well.</translate> <translate> The duration of an "autoblock" can be changed by adjusting the value of <tvar name=expiry><code>{{ll|Manual:$wgAutoblockExpiry|$wgAutoblockExpiry}}</code></tvar>.</translate>
#* ''{{int|ipbhidename}}'' - <translate> When selected, the blocked username will not be added to the [[<tvar name=1>Special:Log/block</tvar>|block log]], the [[<tvar name=2>Special:IPBlockList</tvar>|active block list]], or the [[<tvar name=3>Special:ListUsers</tvar>|user list]] (only available on sitewide indefinite blocks).</translate> <translate> Other users with the ability to view these hidden entries will still be able to see and unblock the username or IP address.</translate> <translate> This option is not enabled in a default installation of MediaWiki; the person putting the block in place must have the <tvar name=1><code>hideuser</code></tvar> permission.</translate> <translate> See <tvar name=1>{{ll|Manual:User rights}}</tvar>.</translate>
#* ''{{int|ipbwatchuser}}'' - <translate> When selected, this adds the blocked user's user page and user talk page to your watchlist.</translate>
#* ''{{int|ipb-hardblock}}'' - <translate> This option is only available when blocking an IP address.</translate> <translate> When not selected, registered users who try to edit using a blocked IP address will still be able to edit.</translate> <translate> Otherwise, they will be unable to edit as well.</translate>
# <translate> Double-check everything you entered and click on <tvar name=submit>'''{{int|ipbsubmit}}'''</tvar>.</translate> <translate> A message should appear saying if the block was successful or unsuccessful.</translate>

<translate>
==Unblocking== 
</translate>
<translate> To unblock a username or IP address, go to the [[<tvar name=1>Special:BlockList</tvar>|active block list]] and click on the <tvar name=2>'''{{int|ipusubmit}}'''</tvar> link next to the user or IP you wish to unblock.</translate>
<translate> Then, enter an optional reason and click on the unblock button.</translate>
<translate> A message should appear saying if the unblock was successful or unsuccessful.</translate>

<translate>

Alternatively, navigating to [[<tvar name=1>Special:Unblock</tvar>|Special:Unblock]] and provide the username or IP.

==What it means to be blocked== 
</translate>
<translate> Sitewide blocked users are unable to [[<tvar name=edit-pages>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Editing pages</tvar>|edit pages]], [[<tvar name=mng-files>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Managing files</tvar>|upload files]], [[<tvar name=move-pages>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Moving a page</tvar>|move pages]], and perform other actions that additional {{<tvar name=1>ll|Manual:User_rights</tvar>|user rights}} would grant.</translate>
<translate> Effectively, this makes the wiki read-only for those users.</translate>
<translate> Until MediaWiki 1.17, sysops or others with access to the unblocking interface may still unblock others (as well as themselves if they have the <tvar name=1><code>unblockself</code></tvar> right).</translate>
<translate> However, since MediaWiki 1.17, blocked users who are in user groups that allow them to block nevertheless may not block or unblock other users while blocked.</translate>
<translate> Since MediaWiki 1.33 <tvar name=1><ref>[[gerrit:476080]]</ref><ref>https://slate.com/technology/2018/12/wikipedia-nuclear-option-administrators-unself-banning.html</ref></tvar>, users with the <tvar name=2>unblockself</tvar> right can now block the user who blocked them.</translate>

<translate>

Partially blocked users are only prohibited from performing change actions to the specific pages or all pages inside the namespaces configured.

== Known bugs == 


* On the <tvar name=3>[[Special:ActiveUsers|{{int|activeusers}}]]</tvar>, the <tvar name=4><code>{{int|Listusers-blocked}}</code></tvar> status would display for all users who have been blocked at least once after 2017, due to a known [[<tvar name=2>phab:T170659</tvar>|bug]].
