Summary: Soft blocking IP address prevents hardblocking of
accounts on that IP address.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.15-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Blocking
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
After a discussion in #wikipedia-en-admins about something unrelated it was
brought up that softblocking an IP address, then hardblocking an account on
that IP address allows the person on that address to continue to edit under any
other non-blocked account. Werdna stated that if this behavior was happening it
was a bug. I confirmed the behavior so here I am ;).
Example: I blocked my IP address: [[w:User:24.209.52.11]] for 12 hours
*softblock*. Then I create (using my admin account [[w:User:Nixeagle]]) the
account [[w:User:Nixeagle2]] and block that account indef with autoblocks set
to *on*. In theory this means that any further edits on my IP from an account
without IPBE would result in the autoblock triggering. However this does not
happen when I try to edit [[w:Wikipedia:Sandbox]] with the account
[[wUser:Mixeagle]]. The diff of this edit is at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ASandbox&diff=279096013&oldid=279095164
Instructions to replicate:
1) create two socks, [[User:A]] and [[User:B]] (A and B are names of your
choice)
2) *softblock* your IP address
3) *hardblock* [[User:A]] (leave or turn on autoblocks)
4) edit using [[User:B]] - The edit will go through, it should not.
