Summary: Add block and protection expiries to the watchlist
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Watchlist
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: mike.lifegu...@gmail.com
It would be useful to have the expiry of protection and blocks appear in the
watchlist. While it doesn't make sense to include this in the log (since it is
not an explicit unblock/unprotect action), it does make sense to include it in
the watchlist since it shows data restricted by time and user-selected by page
(which is equivalent to user here).
It would be useful to do so for administrators to know when blocks or page
protections they've placed have expired (to watch for further disruption, for
example), or for users interested in contributing to a page to know when
protection has expired and they can edit without relying on external timers
(which wouldn't be reset if the expiry were changed) or periodically checking.
Other use cases are likely to crop up with additional thought, or once this is
implemented.
