Change #1054602 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dbrant; author: Dbrant):
[mediawiki/extensions/CentralAuth@master] Remove user-specified reason when user is auto-vanished.
Change #1054602 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/extensions/CentralAuth@master] Remove user-specified reason when user is auto-vanished.
Is it possible to do something about log entries for this user? For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/AccountVanishRequests is readily accessible and gives a comprehensive list of every user who's been vanished for privacy reasons, alongside their reason for doing so, all in one central and easily-indexed location. This would seem like, perhaps, the least private thing possible.
Moreover, there's https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User%3AIqbal679101qi this log entry where some guy is posting a spam link in the account deletion summary, it may be useful to prohibit URLs in those.
@jpxg: This is fixed with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/CentralAuth/+/1054602 and is going out on the train this week
FYI: log entries with an associated VRTS ticket seem to be misformatted: see e.g. https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=57074693. I presume there should be a number there (not XXXXXXXXX), and the link format should be more like that which would be produced by printf("per [[:m:Right to vanish]] and [[:ticket:%s|ticket %s]]", ticketNumStr, ticketNumStr) (not printf("per [[:m:Right_to_vanish|m:Right_to_vanishandticket]][[:ticket:%s]]", "XXXXXXXXX"))
Those are from Zendesk tickets, not VRT. Hopefully, this is the last batch from that old workflow.
@Amdrel, @Seddon: Does "no activity" and "[no] public logs" intentionally include users with "Disallow" edit filter hits that led to a warning on the user's talk page, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Vanished_user_16d7650337e0e95cfe1b82503d0a1d4f ?
I mean, the filter hits are now probably gone due to the renaming, which appears to break these logs for both the source and the target username, which is probably a separate bug we hopefully also already have an issue for.
