Hi All,

TechCom is hosting an IRC discussion on RFC: Block users by page/namespace https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T199917 this Wednesday August 8th at 2pm PST(21:00 UTC, 23:00 CEST) in #wikimediaoffice

The goal of the Partial Blocks project is to give wiki administrators a more robust set of tools to be able to better respond to different user conflict situations. To retain constructive contributors who cause disruption on one page (e.g. contentious article page, user talk page of someone they constantly berate, etc.) we want to give admins the ability to block them from editing specific pages and/or all articles inside a namespace.
