Samwilson moved T380963: Codex Special:Block - when editing an existing block most of the form fields don't reflect what's stored from Feedback and review to In development on the Community-Tech (Jackal (not a fox) Fox) board.

Moving back to in-dev to fix up the expiry field handling.

Samwilson added a comment to T377902: Codex Special:Block: font size too small in mobile format.

As a short-term workaround we can fix the font-size just for Special:Block. This means adding a fix in core for something that belongs to an extension, but it's not a big thing and we can remove it later.

Samwilson moved T379537: The menu links in active blocks table are sometimes for the wrong user from In development to QA on the Community-Tech (Jackal (not a fox) Fox) board.

Okay, I think this is actually fixed this time! Sorry for the to-and-fro. The way the edit and remove links work has changed now, and there's no menu. Instead, each is just a link. The edit link is not linked to anything, because editing happens in the form, but the remove link is still a link to Special:Unblock and so should update appropriately. I've tried reproducing this bug, and can't, but then I was obviously doing something wrong last time so I don't know. :-)

https://ocr.wmcloud.org/ is updated to 1.6.4 with Madurese support. (It's not really support, it's "mapped to another language code or mapped to a general character recognizer" but still at least is presumably mapping to a more useful model than the default.)

We talked a bit the other day about how to interpret having both a user and blockid param, and I think we decided to throw an error if both are provided. The description currently says "No need for a username/ip", but I don't think we want to support changing the target of a block, so I'll change that.

Samwilson added a project to T377902: Codex Special:Block: font size too small in mobile format: MobileFrontend.

I think this is coming from MobileFrontend, where it's setting font-size: 0.9em — and we're nesting fieldset elements, making things even smaller. Similarly for legends, which are set to 0.8em. Perhaps these shouldn't be set in ems? Codex sets things in rems, and core in mediawiki.skin.defaults.less provides variables to use (but I assume there's a reason MobileFrontend isn't doing this).

(Note that it is the block (or rather, a part of the block's log entry) that is suppressed, not the user.)

Users are suppressed by (re)blocking them with hidename selected (requires the hideuser right). This results in the log entry being in the suppression log instead of the block log and hides the user(name) from most contexts on the wiki - their contributions and log entries, user lists, and user selection fields on forms.

Samwilson moved T377725: Block log table does not show hidden blocks from QA to In development on the Community-Tech (Jackal (not a fox) Fox) board.

Moving back to development, to fix the issue where not all log entries are shown if there are more than 10 and some are not block or reblock.

Samwilson added a comment to T379402: Unable to retrieve IA metadata for any item.

Jason Scott has suggested that the IA could be blocking us, so I've emailed info@archive.org to see if there's anything that can be done. I wouldn't be surprised if the Toolforge IPs have been blocked, considering they must see somewhat higher traffic from them. It sounds like IA is still in recovery mode, so we should be patient.

But I still think it's a bit confusing to show "change block" and "unblock" next to block entries that have already expired.

Samwilson added a comment to T377725: Block log table does not show hidden blocks.

letype=suppress will not just include blocks. It will also include things like suppressing a page. If you suppress the page User:<target>, in Special:Block/<target> the Suppressed blocks table will include a row for the suppression of that page.
