As it stands (1.6.1), if you block a user, line entries for edits they have made in 'recent changes' still provides you the option to 'block' that user. Of course, they are already blocked... * (diff) (hist) . . m! Super-Skrull; 19:13 . . Maryskid (Talk | contribs | block) Shouldn't this line read: * (diff) (hist) . . m! Super-Skrull; 19:13 . . Maryskid (Talk | contribs | unblock) It would be a handy feature to unblock those users, directly from the RC page, and to facilitate user administration, to quickly see that someone else has already blocked the particular vandal...
I'm inclined to state that this would be too expensive. An alteration to the blocking form, to warn in advance that the user is under a block at the moment, would not be.
Too expensive??? I don't pay anything for MediaWiki! J/k. (Although I probably would...) I like your idea better I suppose. It would certainly reduce 99.9% of the unnecessary sql queries. I suppose the unblock would be used far too few times to validate such a consistant tax on the database. Could we implement your idea instead? Cheers.
