QA should be able to test that this has been applied if you have admin rights on a beta wiki other than:

  1. commonswiki
  2. mediawikiwiki
  3. bnwiki
  4. cswiki
  5. fawiki
  6. ptwiki
  7. itwiki
  8. ruwiki
  9. srwiki
  10. zhwiki
  11. enwiki
  12. wikidatawiki
  13. jawiki
  14. dewiki
  15. frwiki
  16. eswiki

If you have these rights then you can load Special:Block and verify that the block page shows options to block specific actions as part of a partial block.

If you want to grant yourself the rights and have SSH access to beta, you can do so with the createAndPromote.php maintenance script.

For Tech News - What wording would you suggest as the content, and When should it be included? Thanks!"

@Tchanders @Dreamy_Jazz For the ones that are not on your list(https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T353495#9509302) of he or ko beta wiki, are they supposed to reach the Special:Block page regardless if they have no rights at all or Admin? Regardless they do have access to the Special:Block page so I will move this to Done. Thanks for your work and steps!

*UPDATE* Even though on "he" beta it showed no rights and I was able to still access the Special:Block. This was only because on Special:GlobalUserRights, I still had steward rights.
