When you use your device on a mobile network, or on a shared WiFi connection, your IP address may be shared with many other users.

If your IP address is blocked, try joining a different WiFi network. </p><p>Note that the Wikimedia Foundation does not administer the blocking of IP addresses; instead, this work is done by a global community of volunteers and administrators.
