API should return the username of the reblocking admin
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

API:Users and API:Blocks are updated to reflect changes to users' block settings. However, it seems the update is based on the assumption that the blocking admin is always the same, resulting overall in mis-matching information.

The API modules return what is in the ipblocks table in the database. The problem is that updating a block doesn't change the identity of the blocking admin. That is currently being tracked as T199174: Special:BlockList gives faulty results after an admin changes another admin's block.
