Bugreporter added a comment to T323948: Blocking all non-confirmed users on an IP or IP range (aka range block against sleeper accounts).

First we need to have this feature, then we discuss how this can be used.

Wouldn't that mean that the large numbers of users (not logged-in, or not confirmed) receive a block message when they try to edit? To me this would count as collateral effect.

Currently checkusers may issue hard range blocks which block everyone without IPBE. If only non-confirmed accounts are blocked, the impact is reduced. In my previous comment, I also propose that most open proxies, which are currently hard blocked, may be changed to this kind of block; this require an amendment of Meta NOP policy and thus a global RFC.

Bugreporter added a comment to T327008: Make Wikibase site link system more "interlanguage link" + "interproject link".

Currently Wikibase suppose an injective relationship between item and local page, and there are mechanism and usecase for conversion in both directions. Once we can have multiple sitelinks to same site

  • The page -> item is still a single map, though we need some code change to ensure this once we allow one item to be connected to multiple pages of the same site.
  • But item -> page will not. In this way, if we does not provide a "primary" language for a site, parser functions and formatValue will break, since there are no defined meaning for the page connected to an item in a site.

BTW (not directly related to this task), the hidden and suppressed status of global accounts is stored in gu_hidden_level column (added in T297094) and is a per user flag; while local suppressed status (ipb_deleted) is per block.

Bugreporter added a comment to T333244: Warn and confirm for self global locks.

Global locks also prevent users from logging in. Until we solved T222281: Add a way to prevent user from log in and disable a users session when blocking and also have a similar option in GlobalBlocking, global blocks and locks should co-exist; compromised accounts should still be locked (and globally banned users may, though not must, be locked instead of blocked). Edit: to enforce global bans, what is more important is blocks/locks of banned users should not be able to be locally disabled, even if we can disable global blocks locally.

everything wanting a user list must join on ipblocks and filter by ipb_deleted.

In the new schema it is still the case: If we hide the actor of a revision a actor_deleted row is needed, though the user itself is not hidden, so we can not know the account hidden status without ipblocks. A new column in actor_deleted like ad_user_is_hidden may help. Note the ipblocks table in some wiki may be very large due to admin bot blocking proxies.

Addition note (only my opinion): in principle, global locks is not better than global blocks, since locks is effectively a kind of block that local community can not control or opt-out, thus breaking community's self-governance. Japanese Wikipedia opted-out global abuse filter since it is out of their control and can not be disabled locally, but no wiki can opt out (any) global locks.

Bugreporter added a comment to T346293: ipblocks schema redesign for multiblocks.

The UI for hiding usernames is part of Special:Block. Blocking a user with the "hide user" option causes the user's name to be hidden everywhere. Unblocking such a user causes the user's name to be shown everywhere. In changes (revisions etc.), this is implemented by denormalizing the user-hidden flag into the *_deleted bitfield. In user lists, there is no such denormalization, so everything wanting a user list must join on ipblocks and filter by ipb_deleted.

Gather feedback on Growth's proposed IP Masking approach to handling Flow boards: Logged out traffic can't post to Flow discussion boards until they have either logged into an account or created a Temporary account (by editing any non-Flow board). We will provide an informative message for logged out traffic that attempts to edit Flow boards

Bugreporter added a comment to T346003: AbuseFilter log entry for automatic account creation shows account name in the log but shows IP in CheckUser.

Note: Currently AbuseFilter stores potentially non-existent user names as performer for account creation (including automatic creation) action, which is not supported by the actor mechanism. See T188180: Read from and write to `actor` table in AbuseFilter

Bugreporter added a comment to T345037: Visiting deleted page with "oldid=" has poor experience.

All the interfaces tell you, "You can view it." But only administrator can view it.

See T264765

The excerpt from the deletion log is not shown to logged-out users.

This is apparently intentional: https://gerrit.wikimirror.net/g/mediawiki/core/+/965f722117315082d53e0fff53b4532bbc639121/includes/page/Article.php#1487

		# Show delete and move logs if there were any such events.
		# The logging query can DOS the site when bots/crawlers cause 404 floods,
		# so be careful showing this. 404 pages must be cheap as they are hard to cache.

"semi-deletion" essentially means that the deleted page can be restored by anyone

A very old idea, T5843: Implement semi-deletion, may also be taken into account when we start to do this (it is not required, but a future schema change may make some reservation to make it easier to happen). Probably I will write a longer comment about this later.

Bugreporter added a comment to T297995: Remove authentication from Wikimedia Commons Query Services (WCQS).

some people are really keen on having ability to share query results of WCQS/WDQS without auth even if it's stale. Like basically HTML of the result copied and stored somewhere.
