Description

I have an account, Statskartografen, on swedish TurfWiki that I used to create and edit articles but which I can no longer use. I get the error message: Your username or IP address has been automatically blocked by MediaWiki. The reason for the block was: Your IP address is listed as an open proxy in the DNSBL TurfWiki uses. * The block started: May 17, 2026 at 09:26 * The block is valid until: indefinitely * The block is intended for: 83.253.84.xxx I have tried running from a different IP address but get the same problem. I do not know which blacklist(s) TurfWiki uses but I have checked via dnsbl.info whether the above IP address is blocked but it does not seem to be. How do I get rid of the block?

I will work on the error message. Can you confirm you are logged in on the wiki?

Statskartograf

I’m not logged in. It seems I’ve forgotten my password and I can’t reset it because my IP address is blocked from editing, and because of that I will not be allowed to request a password reset from that address (according to MediaWiki).

I have updated the error message. Can you use the password reset function now?

Statskartograf

Yes, I have reset my password and I can now edit TurfWiki. Thanks.
