Block log entries in Special:RecentChanges should have link to unblock blocked user
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

On Special:RecentChanges, if I'm an admin, block log entries look like:

# (Block log); 22:36 . . Foo (Talk | contribs | block) blocked Somebody (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of indefinite (account creation disabled, cannot edit own talk page) (Comment about block)

I would expect there to be an "unblock" link in the (Talk | contribs) links for Somebody. So the line should look like:

# (Block log); 22:36 . . Foo (Talk | contribs | block) blocked Somebody (Talk | contribs | unblock) with an expiry time of indefinite (account creation disabled, cannot edit own talk page) (Comment about block)

I thought this was the case in 1.16, but can't remember for sure.

Removing good first task as the feedback on the previous patch attempt implies that it's not that easy actually. Feel free to readd good first task once more information has been provided in the task description how and in which files a new contributor should approach this feature request.

Readding easy. Looking at gerrit commit, i dont think difficulty was the reason it was abandoned

Soda subscribed.

Will try to get this done

@DannyS712, @Bawolff wouldn't it make more sense to append the (unblock | change block) links to the end of the line ?

The unblock link when added to the tool links set also gets shown in the BlockLog where there is already another unblock link at the end of the line...

The task above is related to the following ticket https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/767205 .Upon approval, the merge request will solve the suggested changes by adding unblock link.
