I just had an anon user try to recover their account because their IP was blocked; they just wanted to log in and edit. Why do we restrict access to account recovery where we apply a block to an IP or range that requires an existing account to edit? This would be normal behavior in my mind. The user just wants to recover their account so they can log in and edit... And they can't because IP block...

You all should check out edit filter 51 and 53 on the English Wikipedia...

I have amended these letters to the table of letters in the edit task summary. See below:

Oshwah added a comment to T27619: Add more characters to ccnorm.

If you take a look at the code I maintain on this edit filter on en-wiki, you'll find many more variances of each letter of the alphabet that should also be added to the ccnorm function that aren't listed here. We definitely need to expand this function and get the additional variances added. I have LTA users who are using different font text in their usernames and abusive edits and in order to bypass edit filters. It's becoming a daunting and long task to update the filter I created so that it's caught up, and it's a cat and mouse game that we'll be one step behind on if we don't do this...

I'm happy to see that this is being pushed out for review and implementation. While assisting another editor with an issue and while testing for a possible vulnerability, I thought that the item selected in the drop-down list on Special:ChangeContentModel was what the current content model of the page was set to, and this tripped me up until I realized that it was just set to the item at the top of the list. I feel stupid now that I think about it, but it really is behavior that users would expect knowing that many sites and operating systems display the current item set in a drop-down list for a setting or option. This will definitely help to prevent confusion like this by others in the future. :-)
