--- Comment #26 from Steven Zhang <[email protected]> ---
Change the error message for globally locked accounts would be a good first
step here, I think. As I understand it at present, when an account is globally
locked, they encounter a message along the lines of "Wrong password" which may
cause them confusion (especially if we have globally locked an account to
protect it, such as, in a case where the account is suspected to be
compromised). Changing the message to something more meaningful along the lines
of the below might be a good start:

"Your account has been locked and you are unable to login to, or edit any
Wikimedia wiki.

This has been done by $1 for reason $2. For further information on the reasons
behind the lock please send an email to [email protected]"

Global blocking definitely seems like a feature that should be implemented when
possible after SUL finalisation is done, at present a workaround (locking) is
being used that has rather inflexible options. Agree that it should be a
feature available only to stewards and staff.
