editCourtesy ping and acknowledging that I reused the text of OdMishehu from phabricator and Camouflaged Mirage from a previous wishlist. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:06, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Barkeep49 thank you for this idea. I’ve reached out to @MusikAnimal (WMF) who has more insight into the Multiblocks project, which enables customization and layering of blocks. We’re looking into whether some of the issues raised in this wish can be addressed through this feature once it’s implemented. After that, we can assess what remains to be resolved. –– STei (WMF) (talk) 19:25, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Barkeep49, it appears Multiblocks does not cover effectively your request. CommTech has taken note of your submission, thank you. STei (WMF) (talk) 07:49, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- I have successfully implemented/coded this wish, I can confirm that it is now functional (I can successfully reverse-partial-block a user to a certain page, and they may only edit that page and their talk page, same with a namespace or a mix of pages and namespaces) and I have submitted a patch to gerrit. There are some minor finishing touches that I need to get around to before the patch gets merged, like prettier log entries, but overall the core functionality of this wish is working and will hopefully arrive in the next release of MediaWiki. :) MolecularPilot (talk) 08:37, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
- I have completed finishing touches now and all tests are passing. I've also spun up a Patch Demo Instance which allows anyone to try out the new features. To login as an admin to preview the new interface for Special:Block and Special:BlockList (and experiment with issuing reverse partial blocks) use the username "Patch Demo" and the password "patchdemo1". If you want to preview what it's like to be a reverse partial blocked user, login as "Mallory" (they can only edit "ArbCom/Cases/Mallory"), with the same password. We are now just awaiting +2 code review from someone on the WMF T&S team, and then the feature will be live the following Thursday. You can track the progress of the review here. :) MolecularPilot (talk) 05:46, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
- @MolecularPilot thank you for getting this done. Colleagues in the Trust and Safety Product have expressed an interest in reviewing the patch. I will get back to you. –– STei (WMF) (talk) 19:31, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
