Bug #: 29031
Summary: CheckUser: please use "infinite" rather than
"indefinite" in the blocking system
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: easy
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CheckUser
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
I think this will be easy to fix...
The CheckUser block interface when blocking accounts uses "indefinite" as the
expiry time. Please change it to "infinite".
There's no difference between infinite and indefinite as the user is still
permablocked; but if we use "infinite" when viewing the blocklog in a language
different than English it will localize, otherwise not. Please see:
* Sock blocked via CU interface (in Spanish):
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=Dferg&page=User%3AOrangesms&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&uselang=es>
* Vandal blocked via the normal block interface (in Spanish too):
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=Dferg&page=User%3AFunguy77&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&uselang=es>
Other enhacements for the blocking thing are requested in bug 24894
Best regards.
