Recently, while trying to edit anonymously from my phone, I encountered the following error message:
When I clicked on 'Details', it took me to the following page:
It looks like two things are broken here:
- The block reason isn't listed on the first screen. Instead it just says "Unknown reason".
- The IP address loaded into Special:BlockList is "#null" rather than my IP address.
I was editing from an IPv6 address via T-mobile. You can see all of the block info for this address at the top of:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2607:fb90:1111:1111:1111:1111:1111:1111
For posterity:
This IP address is currently blocked. The latest block log entry is provided below for reference:
15:31, 3 August 2019 TonyBallioni talk contribs changed block settings for 2607:fb90::/32 talk with an expiration time of 23:51, 17 July 2020 (anon. only, account creation blocked, cannot edit own talk page) ({{TMOblock}}: <!--ACC ignore-->)
This IP address is currently globally blocked. If the block is marked as locally disabled, this means that it applies on other sites, but a local administrator has decided to disable it on this wiki. The global block log entry is provided below for reference:
12:47, 28 July 2019: علاء (meta.wikimedia.org) globally blocked 2607:FB90:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 (expires on 28 October 2019 at 12:45, anonymous only) (Cross-wiki vandalism: If you cannot edit, please contact Stewards)I'm guessing that the reason why it had problems is either because the address is globally blocked or because it is both globally blocked and locally blocked.
