I've just made a change to the software which

details. It is currently
in CVS. Once it's live, it should be a great help for
dealing with Michael.
Apart from the specific issue of Michael, what are the
rules to follow in terms of banning of a loggued in
user on the en wiki ?
Is it still supposed to be "sanctified" (I can't find
the exact proper word), or may sysop ban loggued-in
user just as they can ban ips ?
AFAICT, it's so far authorised only for Michael.
But it will probably be expanded as soon as Jimbo pronounces something.
I suppose it was discussed somewhere, but I dunno
exactly
I would advise that it be used just as for IPs,
which means that new usernames doing only vandalism can be blocked.
But established user names can't be blocked for new errors,
just as IPs that have done more than vandalism can't be.
Will this be working on any wikipedia as well ?
I don't know. Would you want it on [[fr:]]?
