[mediawiki/extensions/GlobalBlocking@master] Update the 'globalblock' API for global autoblocks
Comment Actions
I wrote a script to create a number of global blocks with different block params and checking that an autoblock is always created (with exceptions that are consistent with local autoblocks).
One way it is inconsistent with local autoblocks is if I modify a global block which has autoblock enabled, the autoblock will have its expiry updated to 24 hours, regardless if the expiry of the parent block is less than 24 hours. I will raise a separate bug (done: T378353).
I also confirmed that when I modify a block to disable autoblocks all of its autoblocks are removed.
Test environment: local docker GlobalBlocking – (5808f91) 17:49, 25 October 2024 (last tested version).
