Bug #: 35239
Summary: Fatal error if to be merged users are blocked
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: UserMerge
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
I get an SQL error that results in a fatal error when merging one blocked user
into another (2 vandals in this case, one is my "Vandal deposit" and the other
has an offensive username).
The SQL error is generated because blocks table can't have 2 entries for the
same user-id (conflicts with the unique pair requirement on the schema).
Not sure what the correct solution is, but it should atleast not crash the
merge and throw an exception.
Suggesting to perhaps query the user with a question ("( ) Preserve the origin
user block / ( ) Preserve the target user block"). Or don't allow such moves
and require them one of them to be unblocked before hand (but that creates an
extra log action that doesn't make sense (unblocking the vandal)).
I think dropping the block on the origin user makes the most sense (when both
are blocked), if only one of them is blocked, then there is no problem. After
the merge the target user is blocked either way.
