--- Comment #62 from Rich Farmbrough <[email protected]> --- @Alex: I have pointed out a violation of WMF's privacy policy, with possibly life threatening implications. Somewhat naively I expected that this would be prioritised as an urgent fix. Expecting me to set up my own test bed to evaluate my proposed fixes (which are partly other peoples proposals, of course) is like expecting me to dig up the road when the water company has a mains leak. I made the page at Meta, because this is a WMF issue, it affects more than the software, it affects process, it affects self-identification with the WMF and it affects the configuring of WMF projects, including creating new translations. Louis who asked for the page seems perfectly happy to have it there. Generally I prefer not to tangentially mention other security problems, per WP:BEANS. Yes I was sort of aware that there should be a $0, and meant to fix that. It's a wiki, you could have fixed it. :) Of course knowing the block ID still allows you to see the block information, if you know how to access the block log. However this is better than being told "The user was Fred Bloggs". The later part of the proposal suggests reconfiguring the Block Log interface so that the Block ID number is only visible to administrative users who will be using the log to consider removing autoblocks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
