Should blocking a user from a Wikibase property also block them from using the property?
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

If an admin partially blocks a user from Property:P18, currently they wont be able to edit the claims on that property. However, they will be able to to use the property. For instance if they want to edit the image (Property:P18) statement on Q4757092 they would be able to do so.

Should partially blocking a Property also block usage of that property?

The way this would work, is if you go to add/edit/remove a claim, Wikibase would execute User::isBlockedFrom on the entity they are trying to edit (Q4757092) as well as the property of the claim they are trying to edit (Property:P18). They must not be blocked from either one in order to make the edit.

I would say the same as on T207948. Could this be optional (a checkbox)?

@Lydia_Pintscher and I had a little chat and we think that this would be a step too far (and also add more complexity).
This would be the equivalent of disallowing linking to a wikipage in wikitext if that user was blocked from editing that page
