Introduce a temporary banner on Special:Block to inform users about upcoming partial blocks deploy
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story Points
Actions

Description

Goal

We want to inform users on all our projects where Partial blocks isn't deployed yet (except enwiki which wants to hold an RfC) to inform them about the upcoming deployment.

Acceptance criteria:

Screenshot_2018-07-12 Block user - CommTechWiki.png (939×1 px, 115 KB)

  • All text will be translatable.
  • Banner will only be visible on Special:Block on production wikis where Partial blocks isn't already deployed. Also it will not be displayed on enwiki, which will conduct its own RfC.
  • Banner should ideally go up this or next week (week of Dec 16) and will stay up until after the deployment in January.
  • Post-deployment of partial blocks, we will keep the banner up for another 2 weeks to let users know and learn about the changes they are seeing.
  • The banner should be taken down on Jan 21.

Ping @SPoore - added this ticket for estimation tomorrow. I made a call to delay the deployment until January. It's possible that major bugs that might show up while we are all away for the break and deploys aren't allowed. This also gives us more time to have the message translated.

Just for your information, we are planning to hold a RFC on Commons for partial block deployment. We imported the RFC page from enwiki to Commons and are modifying/developing the draft for Commons. It can be seen at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Requests_for_comment/Partial_blocks .

@dmaza Do we need to do something special to trigger translations? I can poke the Translators-l mailing list but want to make sure the message is ready to be translated on translatewikinet.

dmaza added a comment.Dec 13 2019, 3:26 AM

I don't think so. The messages are ready to be translated. I just did es :)

I could only test this on my local versions, as I cannot change the settings on beta.

Here's what I see on Special:Block for different combinations of settings:

$wgEnablePartialBlocks$wgWikimediaMessagesPartialBlockBannerBanner
FalseFalseNot shown
TrueTrueNot shown
FalseTrueShown
TrueFalseNot shown

The button's link is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Blocking_users.

There are no translations to test yet. I have made a todo for myself to test these as soon as they are up.

I can confirm the translation looks ok in Spanish (on my local server).

Thanks Dom! I have sent out a call for translations. Hopefully we'll get some more before Thursday.

Follow up on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_health_initiative/Partial_blocks#specialblock-partialblock-banner
This is appearing on enwiki, we have local discussions and support for this - and are still actually working on our policies for it, so would probably be better to direct our admins to our local discussion.

Tchanders added a comment.Jan 21 2020, 2:19 PM

@Xaosflux Thanks for linking to the conversation. The task description says the banner is due to be removed from all wikis today - is that still the case @Niharika, @SPoore?
