I am aware of the big red bar which is supposed to indicate that a specified user is blocked from editing, I normally see this over the top of their user page when looking round Wikipedia. However, there are some user pages where this red bar does not show up whatsoever - an example can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Clinical_%26_Experimental_Cardiology Every single user in that category is blocked, but despite this, there is no visual red bar on any user page to indicate this, or say why they were blocked. Another user I spoke to this evening says he has seen this bug before, which makes me wonder why it's not filed :) Anyhow, it is now - so if you need screenshots or anything for proof, you're welcome to contact me. Thanks.
As far as I know, you're only supposed to see it when editing the page.
See also bug 63988 - particularly comment#4 which I'll paste below: (In reply to MZMcBride from bug 63988#0 ) > Most of this info (edit count, registration time, etc.) should be available > in a more logical location. Perhaps on a user's user page [...] or in an > auto-generated footer template on user pages. I greatly appreciate this userscript, and really miss it on other wikis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PleaseStand/User_info It looks like ~150 other editors currently use it. I'd encourage a serverside version of that.
