Hello all,
The Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team is wrapping up improvements to Special:Block that added the ability to set a Partial block < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/Per_user_page,_n...
.
While no functionality has changed for sitewide blocks, Special:Block now allows for the ability to block a named user account or ip address from:
Editing one or more specific page(s) 2.
Editing all pages within one or more namespace(s) 3.
Emailing other users
Administrators on all Wikimedia projects are invited to test this new way of doing blocks on testwiki. Admins can reply off list to this email to request access to test.
Administrators on wikis where partial blocks are deployed are invited to share with other Wikimedia administrators examples of the way that partial blocks are being used.
This is so great. Kudos to the team for adding tools to prevent abuse and harassment that allow for more targeted policy enforcement.
How do we see which wikis have partial blocks deployed already / are planning to have it deployed? And is there any way administrators can request deployment?
