It includes Nippon Telegraph and Telephone(NTT), KDDI(include Wi2), and SoftBank, which are major Japanese companies that deal with everything from mobile to building communications, and the lock range is too wide, so it would be better to narrow it down. . Also, I don't think it's necessary to block the Japanese version, major other language versions (such as English), and multilingual projects. --Vcvfou698069 (talk) 22:59, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- May I ask why? Yes, some of these ranges are quite large, but before doing the blocks I've already checked for potential collateral damage (which I take into account before placing global blocks). These are already configured in a way that allows logged-in users to edit and they don't seem to have caused any collateral damage as far as I have been seeing. Should that be the case, individual wikis, such as jawiki, can still choose to unblock the ranges locally. I will not decline this, but I would want to see either some valid reasons to unblock or some indication that this affects a large amount of users other than a third-party appeal. EPIC (talk) 00:26, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Looking at the "xwiki-contribs" for each of these IP ranges, I believe they are IP ranges where one or more meaningful edits have been made even when not logged in. --Vcvfou698069 (talk) 01:12, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- All I can say is; The blocks were a necessary consequence of blocking accounts. Like mentioned, these are configured in such a way that still lets logged-in users edit to avoid causing collateral damage. If the blocks cause too much collateral damage, it's not much harder for us than that we can unblock IPs or ranges when needed. Unless you or someone else is currently affected, there isn't much else to do for now. EPIC (talk) 08:24, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Some of these IP blocks indeed look long (1 year) and wide (/16 for IPv4). Can we replace with shorter blocks, like 2-3 months, and see if we need to have longer (but hopefully narrower) blocks after that expires? As for collateral damage, the first edit [1] I found via the xwiki-contribs link above shows no sign of abuse by itself, as does the second one [2]. Similarly, from another /16 range in the list, recent edits don't seem to be obviously a result of abuse.[3][4][5] Same goes for yet another /16 range. [6][7][8] whym (talk) 11:12, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Well, like mentioned these blocks were a necessary consequence of blocking accounts, and there is unfortunately no way not to place global blocks which do not affect anonymous editors. However, the abuse in question seems to have cooled down a bit since I blocked these, so I have no problems shortening the blocks, which I will do in a while. EPIC (talk) 11:40, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
┌─────────────────────────────────┘
I had almost forgotten about this, my apologies. I have now shorted the blocks of most of these to three months, except for the blocks that had already expired or those that already had shorter blocks. If a fellow steward wants to unblock these completely instead, feel free to do so, but otherwise this should work for now. EPIC (talk) 19:32, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

- I've pinged the blocking steward of this IP to see how they came to the conclusion that this was a proxy. However, in the meantime I have set the block to only affect anonymous users, so you should now be able to edit. EPIC (talk) 07:41, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
