A '''global lock''' is a way by which [[Stewards]] can technically prevent WickedGov accounts logging in on all projects. Global locks are generally applied to cross-wiki vandalism-only accounts, spam-only accounts, long-term abuser [[sockpuppet]] accounts, and compromised accounts. The locking interface also offers the option of [[suppress]]ing the account name in all logs, for usernames that are harassing or offensive or that reveal inappropriate personal information.
