Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/04/Category:Globally locked Commons users
Propose deleting per w:Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 April 17#Template:Blocked user. This category isn't really needed as this is already shown in the logs and lots of users have been locked, far more than the 97 users in this category. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:50, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Crouch, Swale:
Keep Please see Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/05/Category:Globally locked commons users. This has already been proposed and kept. Krok6kola (talk) 17:57, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Krok6kola: Template:Indefblocked-global should also be deleted but anyway that discussion was nearly 6 years ago so its probably worth a revisit especially given the 2019 TFD I cited and note that the template was deleted at w:Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2023 April 14#Template:Locked global account.

- @Crouch, Swale: What happens on enwiki is for them to decide. This is the Commons and that category is very relevant to me and probably others. But as noted, only users with a significant number of edits on the Commons should be in there, not those which only have a few to none, which is the case now. What "logs" are you referring to that lists them all? Krok6kola (talk) 13:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- When you go to the user contributions the fact a user is blocked or locked shows up so its not adding any more information than can be seen. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:36, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Crouch, Swale: But that requires prior knowledge. Only a very small proportion of blocked users on the Commons are blocked as a result of a WMF office action (i.e. globally locked). Krok6kola (talk) 21:13, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Krok6kola: Note I've opened Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Indefblocked-global which seems a more appropriate venue maybe this should be closed. Crouch, Swale (talk) 14:07, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
