Background
Sometime
When admins make a block, they may want to track the target's behavior or limit bad acting from spreading. To mitigate this, we should implement additional options to block users.
user story
As an admin, I want to limit a bad actor's behaviors as best as possible, so that I can maintain the integrity of a project.
requirements / acceptance criteria
Given that I'm an admin making a block, when I create a block, I should see an additional details field, and be able to select the following optional fields:
- Block the last IP address used by this account, and any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from. This duration is dependent on the "expiration" set for the given block.
- Monitor this account’s user page and talk page. This should allow the admin to review the user's activity.
- Apply block to logged-in users on IP Address. This should block any new user on the IP address trying to make edits.
Implement Additional details field in Codex.
The component should look and feel as defined in Figma file
Derived Requirement
As an admin creating a block, additional options should be available to help manage user behavior. These options include:
Blocking the last IP address used by the account and subsequent IPs based on the block expiration.
Monitoring the user's account page and talk page.
Applying the block to logged-in users on the blocked IP address.
