Description Al Tally 2008-09-18 18:47:19 UTC 
It seems that admins can block other editors, whilst they're still blocked themselves. This serves no purpose, and could possibly be damaging, so please remove that ability. Thanks.

I may be dumb or something, but I just made up a private wiki based on the trunk and blocked myself. Then,
1) when trying to block myself again, I got the "You cannot block other users while you are blocked" error,
2) I have managed to block, for example, 127.0.0.1 and a second attempt failed with the usual "is already blocked" error.

After I modifed the "$wgUser->getId" thing to "$wgUser->getId()" (I believe getId is a method, not a property), further self-blocks fail with "already blocked", but I'm still unrestricted in blocking IPs.

Fixed in r41314.

A blocked sysop can still unblock themselves, and then block other users.
Comment 6 Chad H. 2009-03-18 00:55:41 UTC 
Reclosing. Sysops are supposed to be able to unblock themselves.
