Do not prevent unification if home wiki is blocked
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Account unification should be permitted even if the home wiki is blocked. Even if the user is a blatant vandal, this is beneficial because it allows stewards to lock or hide the global account.

There is at least one legitimate user reported to stewards who cannot unify because of this.

Just to note that stewards very much support this change. It would more efficiently tackle abuses such as username vandalism.

Code is now merged and will go out in MW 1.21/wmf11.
