Description Mike.lifeguard 2009-03-22 03:15:14 UTC 
The form at Special:Block hides the other field when you use it - global blocking should do the same.

The local block form also has a dropdown of predefined block reasons - global blocking should do the same.

Please also match the default MediaWiki:Globalblocking-block-intro to MediaWiki:Blockiptext.

Why should it match?

Because these system messages differ only in whether the block is local or global? Of course I don't mean it should be an exact copy - it needs to say that the block will affect all wikis.

But for example, there's no mention of adhering to policy. This makes little difference for Wikimedia, since MediaWiki:Globalblocking-block-intro is only relevant at Meta, and I've already changed the message, but it might matter for third-party users. But as I say, it's utterly trivial.

Marking this bug as Lowest priority.

I've done this in a batch to (usually enhancement request) bugs where:
* It is not clear that this bug should be fixed.
* It is not clear how to fix this bug.
* There are difficulties or complications in fixing this bug, which are not justified by the importance of the bug.
* This is an extremely minor bug that could not be fixed in a few lines of code.

If you're interested in having one of these bugs fixed, your best bet is to write the patch yourself.

Adding many blockers of bug 38638 to the list of "easy" bugs, to mark them as candidates for [[mw:Google Code-in]] tasks (gci2013). If you think this bug is not suitable, remove the keyword.
