<translate><!--T:19--> Global bans are considered a last resort and are only enforced upon receipt of complaint, investigation, extensive review and explicit approval by several Foundation staff members. As they are enforced after everything else seems to have failed or in extreme circumstances where the community is unable to take action, they are final; they are not appealable, not negotiable and not reversible. As they prohibit all involvement to the Wikimedia projects, websites, platforms and activities from the moment they are enacted, by definition they also prohibit potentially positive future involvement of the banned individual, regardless of the outcome of that involvement. Knowingly facilitating the contributions of a globally banned individual, acting as a proxy for such a person, or attempting to interfere with Foundation staff or volunteer administrators, bureaucrats or functionaries enforcing a global ban in line with local policies may result in sanctions, including loss of advanced user rights or suspension of contributing access to Wikimedia sites.</translate>

Temporary Foundation global bans serve to exclude a user in line with a traditional Foundation global ban, as described in the previous section, with the key difference that their duration if finite. This means that a temporary global ban will bar individuals from all Wikimedia Foundation websites, platforms and activities, either in their own capacity or as agents of others, for a limited and clearly defined period of time.
Temporary Foundation global bans are reserved for conduct that:
*Constitutes a single, serious violation of the Terms of Use, and is not part of a pattern of otherwise abusive behaviour;
*May not expressly breach the Terms of Use, but follows a pattern of behavior with considerable negative impact on the affected projects or individuals.
Similar to a global ban, a temporary global ban is placed against an individual instead of against a specific username. It applies to any alternate accounts an individual may control and any accounts they might create after the ban has been enacted and for the duration of the ban. Likewise, it applies to anonymous / “IP accounts” the banned individual may be using at the time of the ban or may use while the ban is in effect.
The duration of the temporary global ban can range from one to several years, which is clearly communicated to the banned individual and the public through the temporary Foundation global ban notice. It is not appealable, so its duration is final and non negotiable. The sanctioned individual may resume activity, in line with local project policies and the Terms of Use, upon the ban’s expiration.</translate>

A partial Foundation ban is a Foundation complementary tool to a community site or topic ban. Accordingly, partial Foundation bans serve to exclude an individual from a single or a defined set of Foundation-supported projects, activities or platforms, either indefinitely or for a defined period of time, without excluding them from the entire Wikimedia ecosystem.
Partial Foundation bans may be implemented in cases of:
*Repeated misconduct within a single Foundation-supported project, with considerable impact either on that project overall or on individual contributors who are active in that project.
Additional circumstances that may be considered for partial Foundation bans include:
*Lack of abusive conduct by the affected individual in any other Wikimedia Foundation supported projects.
*Record of positive contributions and overall good standing in other Wikimedia Foundation supported projects.
Partial Foundation bans help safeguard constructive contributions to and growth of smaller, technical, and/or emerging communities, where individual editors with problematic history on mature wikis sometimes become pillars without causing any issues.
Similar to the other bans listed above, partial bans are placed against an individual rather than against a specific account name or IP address by which that individual may be known.
They are final and non-negotiable.
In the event of a finite partial ban, the affected individual may resume activity, in line with local project policies and the Terms of Use, upon the ban’s expiration. Should the affected individual fail to demonstrate course correction upon their return, further office actions may be considered.</translate>
