This bug has status "Resolved (wontfix)"
Am I correct in that it Its also seems to elude to trying to block users
from certain sections, The entire wiki and loging completion?

Hi,
We have setup Mediawiki within our University and have a fair
understanding
of it. Hoever, we failed to test the block
feature and we discovered
this
after setting it up and starting to use it :(
Block seems to clock the username from posting but it does not block the
user from logging in. Has there been any work to either block logins
for
blocked accounts or add an enabled flag in the
user table?
Although wikis should be open communities, we use it for internal
documentation and when an employee leaves (or student drop a course
etc), we
would like to be able to delete the or block the
account from gaining
read
access. I am willing to work on this code if no
one has done so already
but
want the efforts to be put into the main source
so I dont have to do it
over
and over each time there is an upgrade.
Has anyone done this/started this/talked about this?
