Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Admins and patrollers/Allow global blocks to optionally not block account creation

Random proposal ►◄ Admins and patrollers  The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Allow global blocks to optionally not block account creation

• Problem: Currently all global blocks always block account creation. Stewards can only choose whether the block will affect unregistered or registered contributors (the so-called softblock or hardblock).
• Proposed solution: In line with what happens with Special:Block, please add a checkbox to Special:GlobalBlock and give stewards the option to check or uncheck that box depending on the circumstances.
• Who would benefit: Stewards as users of the extension; but all users too as we can allow account creations in case where the abuse exclusively comes from unregistered contributors.
