Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ManageMentors
- Edit a mentor's info
- Tick the "Is away?" checkbox
- Blank the "Away until" field.
- Submit
What happens?:
It appears to succeed but the mentor isn't actually marked away.
What should have happened instead?:
Either they remain marked Away indefinitely (unless they take explicit action to clear the away status) or the form fails saying the date field is required.
Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
Until T321509 is done, admins have to manually handle the case where a mentor suddenly stops editing and unanswered questions pile up, and I tried to mark some of them as away. I have no idea when they will return so can't specify a good date.
