There was a checkbox (unchecked by default, IIRC) which one had to check off to change block settings. I don't know what the problem was with that - it seemed perfectly sensible to me that 1) You would require active confirmation for something like that and 2) You would use a checkbox in exactly that manner to do it So, probably it is a simple revert of whatever commit changed that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
