Commons:Pengecualian pemblokiran IP
Biasanya, jangka panjang pemblokiran alamat IP atau rentang tidak mempengaruhi pengguna login. Namun, kadang-kadang perlu untuk memblokir pengguna anonim dan login dengan cara ini untuk mencegah gangguan.
Pengurus selalu dibebaskan dari blok tersebut (dengan pengecualian pemblokiran Tor). Pengguna lain dapat meminta pembebasan pemblokiran IP per pengguna jika mereka dapat menunjukkan tujuan yang baik.
Pengecualian blokir IP memungkinkan pengguna untuk mengedit tanpa gangguan, ketika IP biasa mereka diblokir bukan karena kesalahan mereka sendiri. Ini juga dapat digunakan (secara khusus) untuk mengizinkan pengeditan melalui anonymizing proxy seperti Tor.
Pengguna yang diberikan hak pengecualian blokir IP harus menyadari bahwa pelanggaran kebijakan ini, termasuk pengeditan yang tidak sah melalui proxy, atau kekhawatiran yang signifikan atas account abuse atau perilaku lainnya, dapat menyebabkan penghapusan hak pembebasan blok IP.
Meminta dan memberikan pengecualian
Hak pengecualian blokir IP memiliki dua kegunaan utama:
- Pengguna yang terpengaruh oleh blok yang dimaksudkan untuk mencegah vandalisme atau gangguan, dapat diberikan bendera. Mereka kemudian akan dapat mengedit tanpa terpengaruh oleh blok IP.
- Dalam keadaan yang sangat luar biasa, pengguna mungkin diizinkan untuk mengedit secara anonim, melalui Tor atau lainnya anonymizing proxy.
Ini ditangani secara berbeda, karena perlindungan tambahan yang terlibat untuk penggunaan proxy terbuka.
Digunakan untuk melewati blok rentang IP
"Hard" IP range blocks are used to prevent persistent disruption from temporary accounts and sock-puppets within an IP range. A user with a credible editing record who would be affected by this measure, may be exempted from the block at administrative discretion, to allow them to edit uninterrupted through the IP range block.
The conditions for granting this are that:
- the user's normal (non-proxy) IP will be disrupted by an IP block that is placed on a range they usually edit on, through no fault of theirs. (This may be confirmed via autoblock or checkuser)
- the user agrees never to mis-use the exemption to edit through a blocked anonymizing proxy (this may be checked), and,
- when the block ends, or ceases to be an issue for the user, the exemption will be removed by any administrator.
In addition, IP exemption may also be given by an administrator without a request, to prevent good-faith users being affected by a hard IP range block. The user should be informed that in order to prevent vandalism, a block has been applied to their IP range, and they have been exempted from it. They should clearly be recommended to read this section, and especially that the flag may be removed if used to edit via a blocked proxy. (See tags and templates below)
- Who may request – A user affected by an IP block that is unrelated to their editing and that prevents them editing with a logged-in account.
- How to request – Request IP block exemption as part of an unblock request. You must ask from your registered account. Requests posted to the user talk page of the IP address will be automatically declined. Administrators granting this right may sometimes need to consult a checkuser to confirm the problem, or may wish to obtain further review by posting the request onto an administrative list or page for discussion if unfamiliar with the case.
Used for anonymous proxy editing
Editing via an anonymous proxy can be easily abused, so it is only granted under exceptional circumstances. Examples of users who may reasonably request an exemption include users who show they can contribute to the project, and (for existing users) with a history of valid non-disruptive contribution, but are either being hindered by restrictive firewalls, or for exceptional reasons must edit via anonymous proxies.
Note that avoidance of checkuser, or specific checkusers, is not usually considered a sufficient reason – concerns over checkusers should be discussed with the stewards or the Ombudsman commission.
- Who may request – A user who has genuine and exceptional need, and can be trusted not to abuse the right. This is a level of trust equal to that given Administrators, as IP block exemption is an administrative tool.

Removal
IP exemption is a privilege given to users who need the right, and who are trusted not to abuse it. Typical reasons why exemption may be removed from an account:
- No longer needed or insufficient rationale for granting - relevant hard IP block ended and not anticipated to recur; user has access to Commons through a non-firewalled IP, user becomes a sysop, etc
- Bad faith or misleading statement in request
- Credible evidence or concern of abuse (including conflict of interest by granting admin) - in unclear cases questions might be raised before assumptions are made.
As with any block (which exemption removal can effectively be), a neutral administrator may remove the right or seek discussion of perceived issues by the community. Due to the potential for abuse, credible concerns over abuse endorsed by the community may at times be sufficient for removal. However in all cases, removal should be preventative and not punitive.
Administrators guide
- All IP block exemptions are subject to review and repeal. Exemption may be, and will usually be, withdrawn if there is credible evidence or concern of abuse. It is advisable for administrators to discuss first if in doubt, since a poorly-founded exemption will be quickly withdrawn.
- When considering IP block exemption, the editing history of the user and the abusive range concerned should be carefully reviewed before making a decision.
- IP block exemption is granted or removed via Special:UserRights. Users having the IP-block-exempt right are visible as a user group under Special:ListUsers and can be reviewed. (Note that if the user is an administrator, they will not usually appear in this list.) The reason for granting or removal are given in the relevant user's rights log.
