Via CentralAuth you suppress a global account (some local accounts of the global one are locally blocked *without* hideuser). Later you notice that using suppression was a mistake so you uncheck the global suppression option. The result is that, if the account was locally blocked, it remains suppressed so you need to manually unsuppress it's name and edits on every project. Happened today at: - http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&tagfilter=&title=Especial%3AContribuciones&contribs=user&target=Cuentademierda&namespace=&tagfilter=&year=&month=-1 - http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=suppress&user=&page=User%3ACuentademierda%40global&year=&month=-1&tagfilter= - http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=globalauth&user=&page=User%3ACuentademierda%40global&offender=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter= Please note that the "hidden" flag only removes it from Special:GlobalUsers but nothing more.
This was done intentionally. Otherwise the global unsuppression would override local unsuppressions (which it surely should not do).
(In reply to comment #1) > This was done intentionally. Otherwise the global unsuppression would override > local unsuppressions (which it surely should not do). Thank you. It seems that, then, the extension should check which accounts were suppressed by CentralAuth and which ones locally and remove the suppressions set from meta only? Added dependency on another bug which seems similar to this one too.
