DiscussionTools new section incorrectly reports that a user is blocked when the page is protected
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Go to a user talk page that has active protection, where the user has been previously blocked
  • Press 'Add topic'

What happens?:
The editnotice like part above the new section edit window says "This user is currently blocked" even though the user is not blocked

What should have happened instead?:
This entire section about being blocked should have been hidden as the user is not blocked

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Found on the English Wikipedia - not attempted to reproduce locally yet.

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

(notice how the last log entry is an unblock, so the user cannot be blocked)

I don't see that edit notice on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:HistoryofIran now.

Whatever was causing this, it seems like the same problem as T326256.

It disappeared for me when I changed IPs. I was testing another bug and so switched to a VPN. I refreshed that page and it was no longer the case. My normal IP isn't blocked but the VPN was.
