--- Comment #2 from billinghurst <[email protected]> 2012-11-17 23:34:40 UTC --- At this point the global blocking message says discuss with the blocking person. This is neither effective or productive when there is a large team of people acting as stewards at Wikimedia for 700+ wikis. Consider also that individuals come and go, so we may actually pointing people to a dead end (stewards do retire before their blocks end) Stewards need to be able to have the ability to * edit the message * to display their message universally * look to have a message in the local language (if volunteers will do so) As Marco Aurelio has said we need the additional ability to include links to a specific page. I would add that we may be looking to add email links, as at the moment we specifically need to add that in the block reason and a default addition may be seen to be more effective. Here the stewards see that pointing users/complainants to a central page, and/or to a universal email address (in OTRS) is a better systematic and responsive methodology. Having a better ability to globally configure a universal message/template is highly desirable. Giving stewards the tools to manage their affairs and information in real time (or close to) is the next step in maturing global block. FWIW I am sure Krenair's comment is relevant, I just don't get the importance/relevance myself. I must be lacking a link to another information piece. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
