[00:13:49] <MirahezeRelay>	 <geoffreytrang> With the 1.43 upgrade, we could then see the first global account block on Miraheze wikis. Global blocking has always been available for IPs, but only in version 1.43 did it become available for accounts as well. Also, global blocking is not to be confused with global locking, which prevents users from logging in to any wiki.
[00:18:22] <MirahezeRelay>	 <geoffreytrang> Besides globally blocking accounts and Special:NamespaceInfo, another new feature in version 1.43 is the ability to sort categories in alphabetical order ($wgSortedCategories).
[01:08:12] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> I don't see much value to global blocking that locking doesn't achieve
[01:09:04] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> I can think of very little serious use for it on miraheze given the diversity of projects, if for example there was someone who ran around spamming emails and that specifically needed to be targeted that sounds rather like a pattern that corresponds to an LTA who should be locked anyway
[07:42:34] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rhinosf1> @notaracham we'll be controlling Parsoid for reads for a while to come
[07:42:46] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rhinosf1> It ain't going to be a big bang
