This was released back in March of this year, but MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown is only used when an administrator (on the Special:Block interface) chooses the Indefinite option. Nevertheless, should MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown only be used as reasons for temporary blocks, while MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown should be used only for infinite blocks?
By that, this would involve changing MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown to only have reasons for infinite blocks, while MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown would only have reasons for temporary blocks. Thoughts? Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 14:16, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- They are already different? What needs to be changed? Keep in mind that the indefinite "reasons" are applicable to non-indefinite blocks, when applied to temporary accounts (where blocks over 90 days are moot). 15:00, 7 April 2026 (UTC) — xaosflux Talk 15:00, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for explaining; I am not requesting whether to implement these changes, but instead to discuss about it. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 16:03, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- A discussion without a goal is pointless. What changes, exactly, are you proposing? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 17:51, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- My initial suggestion was for MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown to utilize solely indefinite block reasons. However, if the community does not want this, I would be happy to withdraw this proposal (discussion) entirely.

- I don't see much of a reason for changing this. Just keep the status quo at this point. EggRoll97 (talk) 19:07, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
- Per above, I
withdraw this. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 19:54, 11 April 2026 (UTC) - This section was archived on a request by: – DreamRimmer ■ 00:39, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
Prefixing of interwiki links
Is there a consensus of whether interwiki-linked text should be prefixed with the interwiki prefix? The article discussing interwiki links does not seem to address this, and I would like to change that. Michael21107 (talk) 18:16, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
