The <Centralauth-error-locked> message sucks and needs improvement - it currently reads: You cannot edit because your account is locked. This compares poorly to <Globalblocking-blocked> in terms of giving users somewhere to go: Your IP address $5 has been blocked on all wikis by $1 ($2). The reason given was "$3". The block $4. (This is being changed right now anyway.)

James: should this bug continue to be assigned to you?

(In reply to James Forrester from comment #0) Are you still working on this?

The lock reasons are not stored in a central location currently. Using the current scheme, we would need to query every wiki (since locks can be from any wiki). Perhaps it would be better to create a central location for the globalauth logs or at least the current locks (maybe in globaluser table?). James, are you still interested in this?
There is a bug about restricting changes of global groups rights and membership to the central wiki; there is probably also one for locks. If that's a requirement for this bug, let's add it to blockers and get all of them done at once.
A temporary fix would be to only look on the "central wiki", and just give the current message if it's not found there.
