What is global blocks

If you have a blocking evasion this message will appear under the MediaWiki:Wikimedia-globalblocking-ipblocked Formerly known as MediaWiki:Globalblocking-blocked are shown as an error message (analogous to MediaWiki:Blockedtext for locally blocked users). Registered users cannot be globally blocked. The analogous action is global locking, which prevents anyone from logging into the account. 171.250.162.76 13:09, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome. That is somewhat right, but let me add that global blocks are like local blocks in that they both can disallow editing for an IP Address or a netblock of them, but they are different in that global blocks are made by Stewards, not Admins, generally after a report at m:srg. — Jeff G. ツ_{please ping or talk to me} 15:25, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
