Hi! Thanks for the separate task! :) I wanted to ask you to think about the fact that if you introduce blocked user icon, then take into account that partial and full blocking are conceptually different things. And perhaps it is necessary to have two icons for these purposes.

Hi, that is a great point, thank you for raising it! We will have to think through whether we need two different icons.

@KColeman-WMF is this task needed for the initial round of work, or shall we remove it from the task tree and come back to it later?

My 2 cents: the blocked user icon would be quite useful, and could remove the need for a gadget that's used on some wikis for adding a strikethrough to names of blocked users. The bot icon is nice but IMO less urgent to figure out.

I suggest we come back to this later and file under next iteration. We don't currently have a suitable user icon for "blocked user" and there is a separate process to go through when designing and adding a new icon to Codex/OOUI.

Is there a task for creating a "blocked user" icon? I think this would be a nice UX enhancement, because you wouldn't need to open the card and click "Active blocks" to understand that the user is blocked on the local wiki.

I agree it would be a useful UX enhancement. I separated this task into two, the blocked user icon task is here: T398286: UserInfoCard: Use new icon to indicate sitewide blocked, globally blocked, or locked user

Hello, I tested user info cards today. I clicked random article and landed on https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ungerhausen&action=history. At first glance, seeing the user-like icons made me assume that many human users had contributed to the article. However, in reality, almost all edits in this history were made by bots. It would be really useful to have a bot icon to more easily distinguish automated contributions from those made by human editors.

An issue in completing this task would be that many of the bots lose their status due to inactivity, but almost all are correctly categorised within subcategories of the local Q3681760.

It is possible to check their usernames for "Bot" keyword.

In the example I gave, there is one bot without "bot" in its name: HarrietaCat.
