In most cases, you can use the {{unblock}} template on your talk page to request an unblock. If you have had talk page access removed or find the template to be complicated, you can use the link below to request an unblock via the Unblock Ticket Request System (UTRS). Please be sure to read the guide to appealing blocks before submitting a request. In some circumstances, you may be asked to request the creation of an account. Please see the username policy for guidance on acceptable usernames.
Instructions
- Fill out all fields on the page linked below.
- Note: Please understand that we are not able to recover or delete accounts. If you forget a password or email address, then we cannot recover it. The only way to fix this is to create an account and request a usurp.
- Check your e-mail inbox for any possible updates or problems that may occur with your request. A request may be fulfilled in several minutes, or it may take longer, so please be patient. Be sure to check your "spam" folder, if you have not received an e-mail within several hours, although the process may take longer on rare occasions.
 | If you are seeking an IP Block exemption for the use of a proxy or VPN, please follow the instructions at WP:IPECPROXY instead. |
 | During this time, no emails will be sent out for appeals except for blocks that are not found for accounts. That means you need to keep your appeal key secret (DON'T SHARE IT) and on hand at all times and check back regularly. |
