This is simply a request for creating IPBlockExempt status on Meta and allowing project CheckUsers the ability to grant & revoke that status. As with the request for Commons (still sadly unfulfilled) this will allow far better control of vandal IP ranges which have valid users on. There are a number of active cross wiki vandals currently whose IP ranges are known but where rangeblocks cannot be placed without collateral damage. As this is already available on en wp it would be good if this could be dealt with as soon as possible. Thanks
Commons' request is bug 14507
(added 'crats too per later clarification)
on-Wiki consensus favors the creation of this group: ---- Group rights assignment for bureaucrats: Was: $wgAddGroups['bureaucrat'] = array( 'bot', 'sysop', 'bureaucrat'); $wgRemoveGroups['bureaucrat'] = array( 'bot', 'sysop', 'bureaucrat'); Requested: $wgAddGroups['bureaucrat'] = array( 'ipblock-exempt', 'bot', 'sysop', 'bureaucrat'); $wgRemoveGroups['bureaucrat'] = array( 'ipblock-exempt', 'bot', 'sysop', 'bureaucrat'); ---- Group rights assignment for checkusers: Was: (none) Requested: $wgAddGroups['checkuser'] = array( 'ipblock-exempt' ); $wgRemoveGroups['checkuser'] = array( 'ipblock-exempt' ); ---- New group request: $wgGroupPermissions['ipblock-exempt']['ipblock-exempt'] = true; Thank you.
done.
It is misconfigured. From Special:ListGroupRights Bureaucrats # Can add groups: Bots, Sysops and Bureaucrats # Can remove groups: Bots, Sysops, Bureaucrats and IP block exemptions CheckUsers # Can remove group: IP block exemptions
there were two lines for wgAddGroups, the later was overwritting the new settings. Fixed.
