Bug #: 29324
Summary: Provide a means to annotate a user's block log
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: rd...@hotmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Users with long or complex blog logs may unjustly have this held against them,
as the context for entries is limited, and adding additional 1-second blocks to
provide comments is highly unsatisfactory.
It should be possible to provide a per-user annotation/discussion page for a
user's block log. The page would probably be protected in practice (for only
admins to edit), but that's not necessary in software.
By way of explanation, I did try adding some code
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ABlockiptext&action=historysubmit&diff=433164642&oldid=400233851
to MediaWiki:Blockiptext, which would have done the job; but this fell down on
not getting the SUBPAGENAME in order to know which page to load. Possibly there
is a simple solution which would make the user's name available in that
situation.
There was discussion
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28idea_lab%29&oldid=433348619#Block_log_annotation
about implementing in JavaScript, but that's not ideal.
