این صفحه همچنین یک خط‌مشی رسمی Wikimedia است که توسط بنیاد ایجاد و تأیید شده است. این صفحه از نظر فنی برای ویرایش باز است، اما ویرایش ها تغییری در خط مشی ایجاد نمی کند. توصیه می‌شود در صورت مشاهده تاریخچه تغییرات اخیر، در صورتی که شخصی آن را خراب کرده و هنوز تصحیح نشده است، یا در صورتی که اصلاحات با نیت خوب با خط‌مشی واقعی مطابقت نداشته باشد، آن را مشاهده کنید.

"ممنوعیت جهانی بنیاد"" یک اقدام اداری است که بنیاد ممکن است طبق شرایط استفاده ما، به منظور رسیدگی به تخلفات چند پروژه‌ای، برای کمک به اطمینان از ایمنی انجمن‌های ویرایش و خواندن تمامی سایت‌های ویکی‌مدیا، عموم مردم، یا کمک به جلوگیری از رفتارهای مختل کننده گفتگو و جلوگیری از مشارکت در گفتگو، انجام دهد. ممنوعیت جهانی برای افرادی اعمال می‌شود که خود یا دیگران را نمایندگی می‌کنند و اقدامی خارق‌العاده است که تنها مکمل فرایند ممنوعیت جهانی جامعه است، بدون اینکه جایگزین شود.

رویه‌هایی که تیم Trust & Safety هنگام در نظر گرفتن و اجرای ممنوعیت جهانی بنیاد دنبال می‌کند، در صفحه فرآیند مربوطه یافت می‌شود.

برای ایمنی و حریم خصوصی کاربران، پروژه‌ها و خود، بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا در صورت لزوم، تخلفات جنایی احتمالی را به مقامات مربوطه ارجاع می‌دهد.

هدف و محدوده

هدف این سیاست کمک به بهبود امنیت اعضای جامعه ویکی مدیا، خود جنبش و عموم در شرایطی است که اقدامات در سطح حاکمیت جامعه محلی یا ناکافی یا غیرممکن است.

ممنوعیت های جهانی و خاص پروژه نیز توسط مکانیسم های حاکمیت جامعه ویکیمیڈیا محلی اجرا می شود. ممنوعیت جهانی بنیاد جایگزین فرآیندهای ویکی نیست و برای اصلاح "خطای" در نظر گرفته شده که ناشی از فرآیند مشروع ویکی است استفاده نمی شود؛ سیاست های محلی در تمام پروژه های ویکی مدیا اصلی باقی می مانند، همانطور که در شرایط استفاده توضیح داده شده است، و ممنوعیت های جهانی بنیاد مکمل این سیاست های محلی هستند. با این حال، ممکن است موارد نادر وجود داشته باشد که بنیاد ویکیمیڈیا باید سیاست های محلی را برای محافظت از امنیت جوامع ویکی مدیا یا عموم یا حفظ سایت ها، به ویژه زمانی که بنیاد دسترسی به اطلاعات دارد که نمی تواند با اجرای سیاست های محلی به اشتراک گذاشته شود.

ممنوعیت های این سیاست به ممنوعیت های جهانی که توسط بنیاد اجرا می شود اشاره دارد؛ هرگونه ممنوعیت معادل انجام شده توسط جوامع به طور صریح اعلام می شود. به همین ترتیب، اصطلاح "حظر جهانی" یا "حظر" در این سیاست به ممنوعیت های جهانی که توسط بنیاد اجرا می شود اشاره دارد، حتی اگر ممنوعیت های مشابهی ممکن است توسط جامعه ویکی مدیا قرار گیرد.

این سیاست برای کمک به شفافیت و تفاهم منتشر شده است، اما سند در اینجا به جای تعیین خط مشی، ثبت می کند. هرگونه به‌روزرسانی خط‌مشی در اسرع وقت ثبت می‌شود، اما ممکن است قبل از تغییر سند عمومی اعمال شود. تغییرات در این سند، مگر اینکه توسط کارکنان تعیین شده بنیاد انجام شود، ممکن است منعکس کننده سیاست و رویه رسمی نباشد. سوالات مربوط به تغییرات یا عملکرد فعلی ممکن است در صفحه بحث مطرح شود یا به ca wikimedia org ایمیل شود.

اعمال بستن سراسری

یک ممنوعیت جهانی، افراد را چه در مقام خود و چه به عنوان نمایندگان دیگران، از کلیه امتیازات ویرایش یا سایر امتیازات دسترسی در وب‌سایت‌ها، پلتفرم‌ها و فعالیت‌های بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا منع می‌کند. این شامل، اما نه محدود به، هر سایت فهرست شده در www.wikimedia.org، فهرست‌های پستی میزبانی شده توسط بنیاد، خدمات ابری ویکی‌مدیا و زیرساخت‌های فنی ویکی‌مدیا مانند Phabricator و همچنین هر رویداد حضوری که توسط بنیاد میزبانی، حمایت مالی یا تامین مالی می‌شود، می‌شود. بر این اساس، فردی که در سطح جهانی توسط بنیاد ممنوع شده است، نمی‌تواند محتوای موجود در آن سایت‌ها، پلتفرم‌ها یا فهرست‌ها را بدون اجازه صریح بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا ویرایش، مشارکت یا تغییر دهد. علاوه بر این، یک فرد ممنوع شده در سراسر جهان ممکن است فعالیت هایی را که منجر به موقعیت های ذکر شده در سایت ها، پلت فرم ها و فعالیت های بنیاد، از طریق دیگران می شود، هماهنگ نکند. خواه فرد ممنوع التصویر یا دیگران بر این باورند که نتیجه چنین فعالیت هایی مثبت خواهد بود یا خیر، چنین فعالیت هایی با ممنوعیت ممنوع است. مشارکت بیشتر کاربر ممنوعه جهانی در پروژه های ویکی مدیا، پس از ممنوعیت، از دامنه یا اعتبار ممنوعیت نمی کاهد. هرگونه مشارکتی که توسط یک فرد ممنوع شده، به طور مستقیم یا غیرمستقیم انجام شده است، ممکن است به عنوان بخشی از اجرای ممنوعیت بازگردانده یا حذف شود.

Criteria for consideration of a global ban

Foundation global bans are considered a last resort and are generally implemented upon receipt of complaint, investigation, extensive review and explicit approval by several Foundation staff members.

They are considered an appropriate course of action when any of the following situations apply:

  • there is a lack of ability by the communities to self-police the above scenarios or take action to resolve or mitigate them;
  • all possible community-led efforts to address the situation have been attempted and seem to have failed;
  • the Foundation has knowledge of a situation that we can not make public; such instances may include, but are not limited to, situations that involve personally sensitive information, are linked to an ongoing police investigation or court proceedings, or may present a security risk.

In combination to any of the aforementioned situations, activity that may lead to a Foundation global ban includes, but is not limited to:

  • engaging in significant or repeated harassment of users on multiple projects;
  • engaging in significant or repeated harassment off of the Wikimedia sites so as to threaten (emotionally or physically) users;
  • endangering, significantly compromising or otherwise threatening the trust or safety of our users or employees;
  • repeatedly or egregiously violating our Terms of Use, such as through hosting illegal content on Wikimedia servers; or
  • threatening or compromising the security of Wikimedia infrastructure.

Parties affected by a global ban

A Foundation global ban is placed against an individual instead of against a specific username. It therefore applies to any alternate accounts an individual may control and any accounts they might create after the ban has been enacted. It can also apply to anonymous / “IP accounts” the banned individual may be using or may use in the future. As noted above, it applies to any action initiated by such individuals, including if conducted on their behalf by other parties.

Notice of global bans

When a Foundation global ban is implemented, a brief, public note of a global ban appears on the affected individual’s user account, or on their primary user account, when they have been using multiple accounts. The same note appears on their account’s talk page. The banned individual’s account is also linked from the Foundation’s Globally banned users list.

On the day the ban goes into effect, globally banned users are notified of their status and appeals options privately, when possible, unless such notification increases a credible threat to the victim or other users, or such notification hinders an ongoing investigation. Private notification of a global ban is issued via email, when the user has registered it or submitted it through a Wikimedia site or platform. If no email address is available, no private notice is issued.

Notice of a global ban may also be issued to the reporting individual(s), as a matter of courtesy.

Appeals

Some office actions, including global bans, may be appealed. With regards to office actions undertaken around investigations into the behavior of specific users, the volunteer Trust & Safety Case Review Committee has been formed to review appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions until a permanent process is created through the Universal Code of Conduct Conversations. Only individuals directly involved in a case may request review, either as an individual who requested the initial case or as an individual under investigation. Reviews may be requested following our decision (i.e whether or not to take an office action). Instructions to submit appeals may be found on the Trust & Safety Case Review Committee page.

Requesting a global ban

Requests for a global ban consideration can be placed to the Foundation’s Trust and Safety (T&S). To expedite consideration of the request, it should include the following:

  • a succinct summary of the reasons for the request;
  • evidence (URLs) that there have already been attempts to have the issue resolved through local community governance structures, where such efforts are appropriate;
  • any crucial information and evidence in support or the request, including pertinent documentation. This can include, but is not limited to, URLs to the abusive conduct being reported, community-led investigations concerning the reported individual, screenshots of off-wiki information (when directly relevant to the request), etc;
  • if the request regards a situation taking place in a language other than English, it is helpful to also provide English translations of any key texts, as this speeds up the review process.

Requests for global bans made through any other venue, including Wikimedia project talk pages, personal messaging forums, or in person, may not be considered.

If a global ban is deemed appropriate according to policy, this may be implemented by any member of the Trust & Safety team, as prescribed by the Office actions policy. It should be noted that not all requests for a global ban result in implementation of such; in some situations the Foundation may proceed with alternative office actions instead, or no actions, depending on the outcome of the evaluation process. The lack of action (or the lack of public action) does not necessarily mean that a report has been perceived as invalid or illegitimate. The majority of on-wiki or user conduct issues are appropriately dealt with by the community, and the Wikimedia Foundation will default towards deferring issues to community wherever possible.

Timeline of global bans

Requests for consideration of a global ban are typically handled within a 4-week timeframe. This may be extended depending on the material that needs to be reviewed. For instance, requests for a global ban against users of non-English speaking communities may extend the review, as translation may be time-consuming.

General information

A Foundation global ban is one of several office actions the Foundation may enforce. It is important to help clarify a few points regarding Foundation global bans, in addition to office actions in general:

Positive contributions to the projects and a global ban are not mutually exclusive.

Extensive positive contribution to the Wikimedia projects does not grant immunity against a global ban; neither does holding of a respected position within a local Wikimedia community, membership in an affiliate group or position with the Foundation. Consideration for a global ban is based on the merits of the reported activity, which may not be offset by an individual’s positive prior contribution to the Wikimedia movement, if that activity falls within one of the aforementioned scenarios.

Breaches to a global ban are not acceptable.

Breaches to a Foundation global ban may result in immediate actions against the banned individual; those may include, but are not limited to, global locks, IP address blocks, IP range blocks or content removal.

Helping a globally banned user evade their ban may result in sanctions.

Knowingly facilitating the contributions of a globally banned individual, acting as a proxy for such a person, or attempting to interfere with Foundation staff or volunteer administrators, bureaucrats or functionaries enforcing a global ban in line with relevant policies may result in sanctions, including loss of advanced user rights or suspension of contributing access to Wikimedia sites. Instances of enabling a globally banned user to evade a ban can be brought to the Foundation’s attention by notifying T&S at ca wikimedia org.

Details of global bans are confidential.

In order to protect the privacy of all parties involved, the Wikimedia Foundation generally will not publicly or privately comment on the reason for any specific banning action. The immediately affected individual may reach out to T&S, via ca wikimedia org, should they need clarifications to any of the notices they have received regarding their global ban and further information may be provided as a courtesy. However, we will not share any information that may identify the reporting parties, compromise their right to report their experiences and/or concerns privately, or place the reporting party in danger. We will also not negotiate the merits of the ban.

Global bans are not automatic.

Foundation global bans - which are used only in extraordinary circumstances - are never automatic. Instead, they are based on extensive individual evaluation, triggered by specific circumstances. A recommendation for a global ban goes through several layers of review by Foundation staff members, including by the Trust & Safety manager, the Trust and Safety Director, the Community Engagement Chief Director, the General Counsel (or appropriate delegate) and, in many cases, the Executive Director. It is possible for a global ban recommendation to be dismissed at any point in the process. Only when all necessary reviewing parties have granted their unanimous approval, is a global ban implemented.

There may be many reasons a global ban is not implemented. In some situations, a global ban may compromise the privacy and safety of the reporting and immediately affected individual(s), even if we don’t share information about them with the reported person. In other situations, enforcing a global ban may hinder ongoing police work. It’s also possible that reported conduct may rise to the level of community or Foundation sanctions, but not necessarily to that warranting a Foundation global ban.

Non-users may also be subject to a global ban.

Global bans are usually implemented against individuals who have been active contributors to the Wikimedia projects at some point. However, it is also possible for individuals who have never made contributions to the projects to be prohibited from accessing or participating in any websites or activities supported, sponsored or funded by the Wikimedia Foundation. This is because global bans are not restricted to people who have some kind of affiliation with the projects; rather they are implemented when an individual’s activity constitutes a serious threat to the trust and safety of the editing and reading communities of any Wikimedia project and/or they disrupt contributions and dialogue.

Questions about this policy.

For further information about Wikimedia Foundation global bans, questions may be left on the discussion page of this policy, or sent by email to the Trust and Safety team at ca wikimedia org. Please note that questions about specific global bans enforced by the Foundation will not be addressed, to protect the privacy of all involved. You may find further information on community banned users.
