User card should have a "blocked on other wiki" icon
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
The user card icon currently changes based on the status of the account. There is a default icon, one for TAs, and one for accounts that are locked and/or locally blocked. It would be helpful to have a new icon for accounts that are blocked on other wikis but not blocked locally.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
When I'm looking at a list of accounts in SuggestedInvestigations it would save me a lot of clicks/tabs to know in advance which accounts have no blocks anywhere.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
Less bother for CUs paging through SI, but also I expect this would be convenient for RC patrollers as a signal that they might want to report accounts to stewards, handy for sockpuppet-hunting, and other kinds of cross-wiki anti-abuse work.

Event Timeline

I wonder if this might introduce icon overload? i.e. currently we have a icon just for indefinite blocks on the local wiki, but with this we would need versions for:

  • Indefinite local block, temporary account
  • Indefinite local block, named account
  • Indefinite block on another wiki, temporary account
  • Indefinite block on another wiki, named account

If we start to represent non-indef blocks differently, it ends up being 4 additional icons
