Summary: Require active confirmation when Re-blocking a user
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Blocking
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
On dewiki many administrators are requesting a change to the process of
re-blocking users. It'd be useful to have a checkbox "[ ] confirm re-block" and
therefor to require active confirmation when Re-blocking a user. Having a small
message "<user> is already blocked. Do you want to change the settings?" and a
different text on the submit button "Re-block the user with these settings" is
not sufficient, as most administrators don't read the whole text when they
block.
Re-blocking without consensus or agreement of the blocking administrator is
often regarded as rude on dewiki, therefor most administrators wish to avoid
re-blocks by accident.
