Description spacebirdy 2008-11-24 06:09:05 UTC
Dear all,

it happens fairly often that global accounts are requested to be locked due to their offensive names or massive cross-wiki-vandalism.

To avoid futile requests for locking accounts that are not global ones, please add an info next to not global accounts in the cu-results like

TestUser (*)
or just 
TestUser *

and a footnote *) not global account

So checkusers see in the results why the account has not been locked yet (while others might already have) and safe their time to request locking and also to safe time of the person doing the locking, checking an amount of accounts manually by copy&pasteing them to centralAuth.


Many thanks in advance for Your time.

Instead of a footnote, cursor text might be less intrusive.

Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2008-12-11 19:09:45 UTC
A "*" is not really discoverable. :) I'd strongly recommend giving this some visible UI which can be easily understood.

Comment 5 spacebirdy 2008-12-13 19:41:26 UTC
Hello, thanks a lot it works great and really is helpful!

Only thing:
Maybe IPs should not have that "(Not unified)" - information, because they can't be unified anyway

Thanks for Your help!
