--- Comment #1 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> ---
Given
<https://test.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allusers&aufrom=Jimbo+Wales&aulimit=1>
(<u userid="6295" name="Jimbo Wales" />), I created User:6295 on
test.wikipedia.org (using an admin account, as a global blacklist rule prevents
strictly numeric usernames...). I blocked the account with my main account
(User:MZMcBride) and the post-block success screen, Special:Log/block,
Special:BlockList, Special:RecentChanges, and the various log excerpts (at
Special:Contributions, etc.) all look fine to me.

Special:Watchlist isn't showing the block of User:6295, but I think that's
because the user did not yet have a user page (or possibly because the user
account name was numeric...). This is a separate issue that I'll investigate
elsewhere.

I made User:6295 an admin on test.wikipedia.org and self-blocked. When I visit
<https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit> while
logged in as the self-blocked User:6295, I see:

---
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
Your account or IP address has been blocked.

The block was made by Jimbo Wales. The reason given is testing.
Start of block: 04:06, 2 April 2013
Expiry of block: infinite
Intended blockee: 6295

You can contact Jimbo Wales or another administrator to discuss the block. You
cannot use the 'e-mail this user' feature unless a valid e-mail address is
specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using
it. Your current IP address is 68.33.116.129, and the block ID is #15060.
Please include all above details in any queries you make.

Marking this bug as _confirmed_ (new) accordingly. (Hah! An April Fools' prank
exposes a legitimate user interface bug.) Where the block message reads "Jimbo
Wales", it should read "6295". I'm not sure how many MediaWiki messages are
affected.
