Summary: Magic word to indicate user "blocked" status Product: MediaWiki Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Normal Component: Blocking AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: dma...@netspace.org Feature request, arising from an idea I floated at en.wp [[Wikipedia talk:User pages#Block notices and BLANKING]] that led to [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Interface block notice while viewing user talk page?]]. The idea hinged on a template being able to determine whether a certain user was currently blocked, which is reportedly not possible to do at this time. Possible syntax would be {{#ISBLOCKED:USERNAME}}, which would return true or false indicating if User:USERNAME was currently blocked or not. For the originally floated idea, that would mean WP admins could set something like: {{#if:{{#ISBLOCKED:{{PAGENAME}}}}|'''Note:''' This user is presently blocked.}} in a user talkpage to avoid constant edit-warring (or endless debate about guideline about) removing/readding active block messages. An additional use might be in [[Template:Lu]], where this same logic could be used to display an icon or other status indicator. This would be useful in sock-puppet and related abuse discussions to reveal at a glance the status of the account(s) being discussed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
