Description Hersfold 2010-03-19 00:13:20 UTC
To duplicate:

1. Block an account (settings on the block don't matter)
2. Checkuser the account's IP address with "IP to users"
3. Check the box next to the account's name
4. Enter a block reason into the "block selected users" form at the bottom of the page
5. Click "Block selected users"

The form will replace the content of the account's user and user talk pages as requested and expected, but the original block will not be replaced with the ACB-Autoblock-indefinite block that is expected from the form.
Comment 1 Hersfold 2010-03-20 03:31:01 UTC
After some discussion on the checkuser list, it sounds as though this may be intentional; I'd still like to see this changed to overwrite existing blocks, or at least provide an option to override existing blocks (similar to bug 16306). Because of this, I've changed the severity to "enhancement". Changing the extension to handle existing blocks in this manner would mirror the current behavior of Special:Block, which will replace existing blocks with the new settings; I would assume that this is what most checkusers would expect to happen now.
