Editing Eurovision Wiki:Help desk (section)

== VPN editing ==

I get confused by the permissions I need that allow me to edit Wikipedia via VPN (I believe there is a global permission and a WP-specific permission). I have had these in the past, and I may currently have them. As I am traveling to a country where I will ''definitely'' need to edit via VPN, how can I check that I have the required permission? And how can I check the expiry date? Thank you. [[User:Brycehughes|Brycehughes]] ([[User talk:Brycehughes|talk]]) 20:25, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
: The relevant permission, globally, if [[m:Global IP block exempt]]. Locally it it is [[WP:IP block exempt]]. You currently have the local perm, expiring at the end of August 2026 (per [[Special:UserRights/Brycehughes]]). You also have the global perm, with no expiration date, per [[Special:CentralAuth/Brycehughes]]. The global perm does not usually allow you to edit enwiki through a VPN without also having the local permission.
