            Bug ID: 46169
           Summary: "You are blocked from editing." is not appropriate for
                    protected items.
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: wmf-deployment
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Wikidata
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified

Users on protected items tooltip of [edit] link will get: "You are blocked from
editing.", the string seems from
MediaWiki:Wikibase-blockeduser-tooltip-message.
For example http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5296?uselang=en (HomePage).

This is not appropriate, the user does not have any wrong, he has not been
banned.
This should apply a new string, for example: You do not have permission to
edit, because the item has been protected.
And best practice is click on the link to get a dialog box, or go to a help
page to illustrate a more detailed description and provide the item protection
expiration time and reason.
