Forwarding in behalf of the original user: Of course blocked accounts anywhere must not be processed. Is there a need to unify old blocked sock/vandal accounts to globally block them later? No. Is there a need to unify oversighted accounts via the wpHideUser function to globally oversight later? No. Do you know that before CentralAuth had the global oversight function accounts had to be locked at meta and then you need to go wiki by wiki manually blocking with 'wpHideUser', then manually oversight meta logs? - Creating global accounts for those users, most of them with personal information, would be appalling. Creating global accounts for blocked accounts creates no benefits but would be an absolute mistake and would indeed increase the level of work stewards (I am one) would have to do to fix the problems. So, I beg *not* to include blocked accounts anywhere into this proposal. Vandals, socks and abusive names does not need to be unified so they can continue vandalizing anywhere, or exposing personal information/libel, etc. Best regards.
