Can't use Special:AbuseFilter/revert on 'createaccount'
Open, In Progress, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Hi, I was testing something on my personal wiki regarding 'createaccount' AbuseFilter blocks.

I tried to unblock an IP that had been blocked by AbuseFilter when performing a 'createaccount' action using Special:AbuseFilter/revert. The system told me that I had successfully reverted the actions. However, the IP was not unblocked.

Event Timeline

I think I know what is wrong. It blocks the IP address, but the abuse log entry refers to the account name and hides the IP address by default.

The system told me that I had successfully reverted the actions.

Yeah, it says so. But the truth is the "success" boolean values are ignored. We need to improve it.
