--- Comment #52 from Rich Farmbrough <[email protected]> --- 1. The text on Autoblocker, according to translatewiki Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "[[User:$1|$1]]". The reason given for $1's block is "$2" "English is the source language and must be changed in the MediaWiki code. Changes here will be lost. Suggest improvements at Support." For Autoblocker the parameters are $1 - target username $2 - reason both of which should be suppressed. Therefore the automatic transclusion of this should be removed form the software. 2. Ideally the message in MediaWiki:Autoblockedtext/en should be something like -------------- Your IP address has been automatically blocked because it was used by another user, who was blocked by an administrator. The block expires in approximately $9 You may contact any administrators to discuss the block. Note that you may not use the "email this user" feature unless you have a valid email address registered in your user preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. The block ID is #$5. Please include this number in any queries you make. --------------- $5 = block ID $9 = remaining time for block in the largest greater than unity units, rounded up. E.G. 8 days 7 hours becomes 9 days, 3 hours 45 minutes becomes 4 hours. Note: Even giving the time in this form leaks information, repeated enquiry will give the exact expiry time, and certainly on smaller wikis this will be unique per block even with a granularity of a day, so perhaps a better solution could be found.
