Steps to reproduce:
- Be logged-in.
- Have an account with the appropriate local or global permissions: createaccount, ipblock-exempt and globalblock-exempt (e.g. an account with sysop permissions).
- Your IP address, or IP range is locally blocked with the "account creation disabled" flag on.
- Now attempt to create an account for somebody else (that is, while logged with the privileged account) using Special:CreateAccount.
Actual results:
MediaWiki prevents the privileged account from creating that account for a third-party, and shows the "You're blocked" message. One would expect that at least the ipblock-exempt allowed this as well as editting (ipblock-exempt: "Bypass IP blocks, auto-blocks and range blocks").
Expected/Desired results:
MediaWiki allowed said user with the appropriate permissions to create that account for a third party.
