Description:
I could reproduce this on my local server MacOSX 10.4.11/apache/MySQL MediaWiki1.12.0 and a bit old Renameuser extension
and also, on ja.wiktionary.org twice.
It can reproduce as blow.
- making a new account "foo"
- (sysop) block "foo"
- (b_crat/sweard) rename user "foo" to "bar"
- see ipblockliset, it shows like "blocked user:foo at xxxx-xx-xx" and somr other info
- someone get accout foo again
- foo *DO* not blocked, although he's on the ipblocklist.
I assume SUL may makes many of user rename job for b_crats on every project,
I think it is not critical software probrem in real means, but it IS psychological critical problem for wikimedia project
with SUL as I think.
to avoid this, sysops on every project need to unblock the one who has been blocked and need to rename
before or after renameuser.
thanks
