You blocked me, because I was too clueless; request 4 review

edit

Dear JJMC89, I'm writing you, since I was among the acounts blocked for reasons I knew nothing about until very recently. Unfortunately my new antivirus-software advised me to install a VPN, without informing me the impact that might have on my online activities. My german "colleague" TenWhile6 (who could confirm my identity, if neccessary) unblocked me here on Meta, however I would be really happy if I could edit wikipedia.de again, where the main focus of my activity is.

Hey Llydia, the IP-adress of your VPN (shown in the block message) is needed for further assistance. TenWhile6 16:16, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
This issue should be resolved now (locally handled on dewiki). TenWhile6 16:55, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is there a reason why all global sysops get global-temporary-account-viewer even if they already have the necessary permissions (or should have them?) if they also have global rollback permissions? I'm happy to discuss this elsewhere (e.g. in the ticket) if you think that's more useful. Best Johannnes89 (talk) 06:27, 27 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

You're right, GRs don't need it. The script I've been using to check and add it if it isn't present wasn't checking for access through other groups. I've updated it now. I'm not going to go back and cleanup the group until after T376315 is done, which may (not) take care of it. — JJMC89 22:46, 27 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
