Bug ID: 52453
Summary: Accounts blocked on private wikis should not continue
to receive email notifications
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Email

Not sure if maybe Wikimedia/Site requests would be the appropiate place.
When an user account is blocked on a private wiki that has the
'wgBlockDisablesLogin' in the config, the blocked user should not continue to
receive email notifications about pages changed on his watchlist. This is
happening to me.
Blocked users on 'wgBlockDisablesLogin'-wikis won't be able to login and check
the change made, and there's the posibility that private data may be leaked in
the edit summary (data that the user is not suposed to access anymore).
Since blocking on those private wikis such as
<http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=private.dblist> (& I'm
speaking for those that I know: CU and steward wikis) is not used as a way to
prevent abuse, but as a tool to remove someone's access to the wiki, it makes
sense IMHO to disable from blocked users the ability to continue to receive
email notifications. I guess that that is the primary use of the tool in all of
the other ones.
Thanks.
