The red hand is unnecessary to get attention, as is the giant text. They're especially inappropriate for IP blocks, where most users are seeing this because of collateral damage. I plan to remove the red hand and make the top line smaller text. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 19:53, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved It looks to me like the old message names are no longer referenced by the code, but they're being slow at removing them for some reason. I tested on a local MediaWiki instance and the new message names were displayed. Also updated the parameters to match the new order. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:31, 10 May 2024 (UTC) * Pppery * it has begun... 22:31, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Another edit request. After the change I realized that the link to m:NOP is gone. Can you add it again? 167.205.22.106 ( talk) 14:12, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

It had a link to m:NOP but the new one doesn't. Also had a few more detailed instructions about appealing a block. 167.205.22.106 ( talk) 15:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
While I agree 167.205.23.115 did a bad job communicating their changes, I think I understand what they want and have coded it in MediaWiki talk:Wikimedia-globalblocking-blockedtext-range/sandbox and MediaWiki talk:Wikimedia-globalblocking-blockedtext-ip/sandbox. Is there any objection to that going live? Reactivating edit request * Pppery * it has begun... 16:13, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
The "breaking" diff was the move I implemented above. As a result of the message key being renamed and the local messages not being updated for a time the message actually displayed to globally blocked users was the default instead of any customizations. And, after expanding the internal messages, the default is:
Your IP address has been blocked on all wikis. The block was made by $1. The reason given is $2.
Your current IP address is $3. Please include all above details in any queries you make. If you believe you were blocked by mistake, you can find additional information and instructions in the No open proxies global policy. Otherwise, to discuss the block please post a request for review on Meta-Wiki.
This does include a link to content about open proxies, and that content is not present in the current customization, and this request is requesting it be added. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:35, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
