Hello all, The Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team is continuing to talk with the Wikimedia community about adding a partial blocks function to Special:Block.1
No functionality will change for sitewide blocks. All existing blocks will remain in place and the ability to block users from the entire wiki will remain as-is. In addition to sitewide blocks, a partial block would be the ability to block a user from: 1. Editing one or more specific page(s) 2. Editing all pages within one or more namespace(s) 3. Uploading files 4. Emailing other users Alex Hollender, a User Experience designer at Wikimedia Foundation, has a second set of wireframe designs of Special:Block with partial block included. You can take a look at the wireframes and leave us your feedback on Meta.2 Please spread the word and forward this email to others (especially administrators) who might be interested in helping re-design Special:Block's layout. In particular, feedback is needed about the best ways to create a log that will work well with the existing administrator workflows. 1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/Per_user_page,_namespace,_category,_and_upload_blocking 2. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_health_initiative/Per-user_page,_namespace,_and_upload_blocking#Second_designs For the Anti-Harassment Tools team, Sydney Poore -- Sydney Poore Trust and Safety Specialist Wikimedia Foundation Trust and Safety team; Anti-harassment tools team _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
