Robert Horning <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Robert Horning <[email protected]> --- I've got to add that blocking for one second and then annotating is precisely what this proposal is trying to correct. Essentially it is the same thing and perhaps just a matter of semantics here, but it does illustrate a shortcoming in the MediaWiki software. All that is being asked here is to give an administrator/sysop level user the ability to add an additional "administrative" entry into logs that could be used for annotation purposes and wouldn't actually be logged as yet another block or some other potentially negative commentary on the part of the user where the annotation is being sought. I agree with North800 here that the "creative misuse" of some admin tools doesn't preclude the fact that there is a real need here and something that needs to be tweaked in the MediaWiki interface. There are other hacks and work-arounds that have been used over the years for sysops trying to get around limitations in the software. This is justifiably a bug, and one that has even been discussed at length on the Wikipedia Village Pump as something serious enough that it should be shown to have broad community support to be made as a priority bug to at least look at and try to find a solution.
