Sorry I'm very busy nowadays so I'm not sure when I would have time for this. :(

Glaisher placed T91868: User:Username@global should be linked to CentralAuth up for grabs.
The above now-abandoned patch actually does implement this but we do not want to do it without migrating to the current log formatter system, it cannot be done easily.

Global IP block exempts doesn't exempt you from local blocks on all wikis; rather it exempts you from actual "global blocks". In this case, 8.37.225.0/24 is locally blocked on English Wikipedia so even if you have a global block exempt right, it doesn't let you bypass the local block.

Glaisher added a project to T147642: Global block status displaying on the Contributions pages of non-existent users: Patch-For-Review.
This is also causing all IP ranges to appear as globally blocked in Special:Block too (under other blocks) due to the wrong query being run.

Glaisher added a comment to T147642: Global block status displaying on the Contributions pages of non-existent users.
After updating core, I am able to reproduce locally. Something seems to have changed the behavior of IP::toHex()(?) so it now returns false instead of empty string.
SELECT * FROM `globalblocks` WHERE (gb_range_start like '%') AND (gb_range_start <= 0) AND (gb_range_end >= 0) AND (gb_expiry > '20161007152532') ORDER BY gb_timestamp DESC LIMIT 2

Weird. This is the query which it's supposed to do on that page but it doesn't return any result on labs.
MariaDB [centralauth_p]> SELECT * FROM `globalblocks` WHERE (gb_range_start like '%') AND (gb_range_start <= '') AND (gb_range_end >= '') AND (gb_expiry > '20161007150458') ORDER BY gb_timestamp DESC LIMIT 2; Empty set (0.01 sec)

Glaisher added a comment to T145346: Special:Nuke — space separation between select toggles and the delete button.
We could probably remove the submit button at the top and just have a submit button at the bottom like other normal forms. That might make people do some more scrolling when there's a huge list of pages but they should be reviewing the list anyway before doing a deletion. ;-)
Glaisher added a comment to T145265: Store check user data action text in structured format.
@Huji The point of this task is to get rid of storing log text in the CU table.. If the log text is stored (instead of type, params etc.), then we would have the issues we are currently having. See the subtasks. Or maybe you meant something else?

I can also see the issues with having a separate formatting system but are we sure that data that is going to be inserted in CU will always have a corresponding log table entry? How should cases such as GlobalRename (T131207) be handled?

That might work for things which use the normal logging table but won't work for others which doesn't make use of it like AbuseFilter, GlobalRename (T131207) and possibly others. (AbuseFilter's insertion of CU entries is also kind of hackish).

I have written https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Glaisher/globalSuppress.js as it's not easy to do this server-side without resolving the aforementioned issues. I have done some testing of it at beta cluster and it seems to work okay but do NOT use it yet because I'm not completely sure it would work properly in all cases.
