@DannyS712 I appreciate the work that you put into improving the logging of blocks. I agree with @Niharika that there needs to be a target wiki(s) that are interested in implementing this change. Through a Rfc or other type discussion, they will need to weight the pros and cons of this design and be ready to put into place by updating their their local policies about logging blocks. Special:Block is a widely used feature and it is important to have very broad input about the benefits of making the change.

@Niharika that sound like a good idea. Also, each of the test wikis has a page that describes pb and the questions that we are trying to answer with the testing. The talk page this page is likely to be where we will get the most feedback.

It is intentional that only indef blocks allow for user names to be suppressed. We are using it only to suppress indef blocked troll accounts that meet a strict criteria for suppression. This is not needed for partial blocks even if time period was indef.

SPoore added a comment to T210475: User should not be allowed to edit user talk page if checkbox is enabled (partial blocks).

@TBolliger I see why you prefer option 1. It follows traditional on wiki values and is the safe approach. The only reason that I might consider including their talk page is that some users get stuck in a rut and spend all of their time ranting on talk pages, even their own. Block all talk page access might bring them back to productive editing again. I wouldn't be opposed to a wiki experimenting with this approach. to see if it helps some users.

SPoore added a comment to T210475: User should not be allowed to edit user talk page if checkbox is enabled (partial blocks).

-I have mixed feeling about talk namespace blocks that includes their user talk page. I lean toward not blocking it UNLESS the page is added as part of the actual partial block. And then pre-fill the checkbox.
-I would make them list it in the block itself not with a simple check or to assume a talk namespace block would include their talk page. This would take away errors that would be difficult to resolve if talk page access is gone. This would still allow for the flexibility to do a rare user talk page or namespace block that includes their talk page.
-That said, it is a corner case that we could eliminate by allows allowing them to edit their own talk page with all pb. There would be no big loss by eliminating it since it is not available now.

I agree with Trevor's concern. Currently, Editing Restrictions as logged now are not easily found and not displayed when you look at user contributions or when you go to the user's talk page. It might be a disincentive to use partial blocks if there is a social stigma.

@SPoore & @TBolliger

I just noticed this comment in the code:

If a user's name is suppressed, they cannot make edits anywhere

Right now, if the user has a block, and their username is suppressed, then they are prevented from editing on their own talk page (even if the allow setting is enabled).

Two questions:

  1. Should suppressed user names be able to edit a page, regardless of whether a block exists for that user?
  2. If a user has a partial block and their username is suppressed, what should happen? Should we ignore the partial block and impose a hidden sitewide block?

@TBolliger In the discussion on Meta, some people are giving good reasons for why that the word "block" would be potentially damaging to reputations. More so than the current sanctions like editing restriction or a topic ban that the partial block will be replacing or enforcing. I also think it is definitely more harm if it is logged as a partial block if it is a replace for Full Protection on a page which carries no stigma for individuals.

SPoore added a comment to T132220: Add datetime selector to Special:Block to select expiration.

I think offering both the datetime expiration picker and a length dropdown is valuable to all wikis regardless of language. Some blocks are for common infractions — e.g. someone vandalized, they get blocked for ~30 hours. But some blocks are more nuanced — e.g. two users are in conflict, block them until we can synchronously discuss it on wiki.

SPoore added a comment to T180722: Interaction Timeline: Add important user links (userpage, user talk, contribs, logs, edit filter log, block log).

How would this work if we do the sticky toolbar?

If we plan on adding any sort of information about the user in the future other than what it is already on the timeline, maybe we should consider a modal window/page with "user details", including a link to all those things.

The simplest version of this would be to have the username link directly to the userpage, which contains the links to these tools. It's an additional click and pageload.

Here's my first thoughts — This bar scrolls and picks up the current date as you scroll. Clicking the pin icon hides the overlay, but the pin icon would continue to float on the far right. Clicking it again would show the overlay again.

We'll probably want better icons for the pin than the 📌 emoji. Hide/show or pin/unpin.

Hovering over the icons should show appropriate hint text (e.g. "show username overlay" or "hide username overlay")

Does this patch apply the new style to all users, just logged-in users, or only users with the 'Strike out usernames that have been blocked' gadget enabled? I believe there needs to be a bigger discussion if this is going to apply to anyone other than opted-in users. (@SPoore, do you agree?)

Possibly butting in here, but I would agree.

Also, what's wrong with the style of the existing gadget? The slightly dimmed color and strike out combo are effective, in my opinion. And colorblind users would still benefit. Here's a screenshot:

Screen Shot 2017-09-26 at 1.07.34 PM.png (114×707 px, 57 KB)

I use and love this gadget, but could understand why some might not be able to read the stricken text. I think Nick has a point with italics too; things like Arabic etc don't really have an "italic" the way we think about it.

@Jdforrester-WMF — are your accessibility concerns related to colorblindness, or something else in addition? Would a strike-out address this?

Can't speak for him of course, but I imagine he's concerned about contrast; rgba(67,101,204,0.7) - the colour it outputs links to blocked usernames - seems to fail the AA test.

SPoore added a comment to T150419: Allow users to restrict who can send them notifications.

Hi all, the Support and Safety team and the Anti-Harassment Tools team have been looking at this feature as an interesting way of addressing a concern. We had some questions come up in discussion. One of these is regarding the visibility of the blacklist to other contributors. As we understand it, the current configuration is that the blacklist is an openly-viewable subpage in userspace. We could see some problems there - e.g. the creation of “enemy lists” for instance, or the escalation of an interpersonal dispute because an editor notices their name on a blacklist. Is the userspace subpage the only option? Could, for instance, the list be a Special page only viewable by admins?
