Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Admins and patrollers/Enable removing block log entries entirely, not just redacting/Proposal/en

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • Problem: When an administrator perceives a wrong block and/or one considered incorrect by the local community, it is in the Block log history (Special:Log/block) of the user.
  • Proposed solution: The idea would be to delete this permanently, keeping only a record of correct and valid blocks.
  • Who would benefit: Everyone would benefit, as the history of incorrect blocks could be removed, in addition to the administrators being more cautious in the application of blocks that are in the local blocking policy.
  • More comments: The approved proposal would be implemented in all Wiki projects. Each local community would establish rules to remove the "block log" from users (obviously it would be for cases of wrong blocks).
