Add CentralAuth and GlobalBlock links to Special:CheckUser
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Since MW supports global user, is useful to autoload CentralAuth and GlobalBlock links if extensions are installed and provide a way to disable this feature.

Event Timeline

Great idea! With GlobalBlock, it would be best if the link would be only shown if the person has the proper rights to globally block an account.

Patch merged so I guess this is done.

This was never actually deployed to WMF wikis, and I will do that now.
