Edit request

Hello,

Could you please raise with Legal the following proposed update at #Disclosure, bullet point #1, unless it can be done directly?

Users with access to temporary account IP addresses may privately disclose the IP addresses to other users who have the same access rights. To check if a user has access, please confirm within the local project's Special:Log/rights page for the ip-viewer right

with:

Users with access to temporary account IP addresses may privately disclose the IP addresses to other users who have the same access rights. To check if a user has access, please confirm within the local project's [[Special:ListUsers|user list]] page for users in the <kbd>ip-viewer</kbd> group.

Reason: If this access is being granted by means of a local user right (hopefully users in global groups that have access to this will just get it through their global group instead of 700+ local user groups, please?), Special:ListUsers would be the right place to get the actual list of users for a given user right (e.g. Special:ListUsers/sysop for a list of current administrators). Special:Log/rights just displays user rights changes, but not the user actual membership.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you, — MarcoAurelio (talk) 23:38, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Actually, it'd be even better to hint user to visit Special:UserRights/<username> which provides an easy way to check particular account's rights without browsing through hundreds of entries for those with whom I'm not interested to share the information. Msz2001 (talk) 13:49, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Still looking into this! Trying to confirm that ip-viewer will definitely show up in that list, I assume that it will but I also assumed Special:Log/rights was The Place and have been wrong before :) MMoss (WMF) (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

It may be easier to answer this when the missing bit (which is about logs) is finalized. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 23:31, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Translate minimum requirements box header

Currently, the "Examples of more restrictive requirements" header is untranslateable. Please wrap it in the <translate> tags.

|header= Examples of more restrictive requirements

should become:

|header= <translate>Examples of more restrictive requirements</translate>

Msz2001 (talk) 13:52, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for catching this! The header is now tagged and marked for translation as unit 71. MMoss (WMF) (talk) 21:57, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

@Rebulka: Can you elaborate on what you mean? Thank you. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 17:26, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

I think I got it sorted out - if I missed anything, please let me know. Thank you! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 22:19, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Revocation for site-wide block

This needs more nuance. It's not unknown for users to block themselves for various reasons, for example. Site-wide bans would be a different matter. Rich Farmbrough (talk)

Why do you think so? It's quite common that blocked users can't do certain actions (e.g. they cannot thank other users). And there shouldn't be a need to access temporary account IP addresses while blocked. Once they are unblocked they can access IPs again. By the way I don't think there is a technical way to determine the difference between a site-wide block and a site-wide ban. --Johannnes89 (talk) 08:51, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
