But block settings can only be modified if someone is blocked, can't they? So
if I read "changed block settings", I know that user X was blocked already.
On the other hand, the "changed protection settings" line alone (for example in
the Watchlist) does not give us the same information since a change from
move-protection to semi-protection uses exactly the same wording as a change
from full- to semi-protection, as such the nature of the change is not apparent
from the Watchlist and requires one to check the full log for the page.
