I have noticed this issue at wikien-l, but really only just now grapped with it.
When an ip is blocked, user gets the "blocked" message suggesting to ask an admin for clemency. This message seems flawed. Which of the following facts do I have wrong?
-blocked user can't get wiki help -blocked user must have e-mail address to get e-mail help -anon user can't set preferences including an e-mail address
-therefore blocked anon can't get wiki or e-mail help
Here is what needs to be fixed:
Standard blocked user message needs to be changed to say:
"If you are not logged in you will need to log in and have a verified e-mail address. If you don't have an account, you will need to create one and verify your e-mail address. Even from this blocked ip address, the system will let you create an account and verify an e-mail address so you can contact an administrator."
