           Summary: Hideuser: Error when trying to block hidden user without
                    hideuser right
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Blocking
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: church.of.emacs...@gmail.com


Currently, it's a bit confusing for admins without hideuser right:
1. Admin sees EvilUsername
2. Oversight sees EvilUsername and is faster than the admin: He blocks
EvilUsername with hideuser
3. Admin goes to Special:Block/EvilUsername. There is a warning, that EvilUser
is "Already blocked", but the block log is empty.
4. Admin tries to block user and gets a strange error: "Error: could not submit
form" and "<hookaborted>".

Expected behavior: Nice error message saying the admin is not allowed to change
block settings as the user has been hidden.
