Hello all,
The Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team is wrapping up improvements to Special:Block that added the ability to set a Partial block https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/Per_user_page,_namespace,_category,_and_upload_blocking .
While no functionality has changed for sitewide blocks, Special:Block now allows for the ability to block a named user account or ip address from:
1.
Editing one or more specific page(s) 2.
Editing all pages within one or more namespace(s) 3.
Emailing other users
Administrators on all Wikimedia projects are invited to test this new way of doing blocks on testwiki. Admins can reply off list to this email to request access to test.
Administrators on wikis where partial blocks are deployed are invited to share with other Wikimedia administrators examples of the way that partial blocks are being used.

This is so great. Kudos to the team for adding tools to prevent abuse and harassment that allow for more targeted policy enforcement.
How do we see which wikis have partial blocks deployed already / are planning to have it deployed? And is there any way administrators can request deployment?

On a technical level, this is defined as wgEnablePartialBlocks in config, which is currently:
- Meta; - MediaWiki.org; - test wikis; - all Wikisources (except Old Wikisource), all Wikivoyages, and all Wiktionaries; and - most of the big Wikipedias: Arabic, Bengali, German, Farsi, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Telugu and Chinese.
Changes can be tracked in https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/index.php (but the files are large and not very friendly).
And is there any way administrators can request deployment?
I'll leave that to the brilliant Anti-Harassment Tools team.

This development is very much appreciated. Thank you for the effort of the Anti-Harassment Tools team!

Except the biggest, the English Wikipedia. What's the reason for lagging behind?

Hi,
How and where can one request enabling this at the Portuguese Wikipedia?

It seems gaining community consensus (an RfC) is the standard way to do it. See a few examples https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_health_initiative/Partial_blocks#Enable_on_Japanese_Wikipedia .

Thank you, James for sharing the list of which wikis partial blocks is enabled now. Steven and Paulo, a link to a consensus discussion a local wiki can be posted to Meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_health_initiative/Partial_blocks or phabricator https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218626. Or you can reach out directly to me or Niharika nkohli@wikimedia.org (AHT Product Manager)
English Wikipedia plans to hold a discussion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Partial_blocksin the not too distant future.
