Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Anti-harassment/Styling for globally locked users

Random proposal ►◄ Anti-harassment The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Styling for globally locked users

Problem: (1) Given a category of user or user talk pages, determine which have or have not been globally locked. (2) Given a page (e.g. a sockpuppet investigation page), somehow highlight accounts that have been globally locked.
Proposed solution: It is not possible to determine efficiently whether a list of accounts has been locked. It is now one API request per user, instead of the 1 request for 50 or even 500 users. Solve the API problem and gadget writers can do the rest.
Who would benefit: Stewards, those dealing with cross-wiki sockpuppets and spam, admins who deal with block appeals, etc. Also a small reduction in the amount of cross-wiki abuse.

Discussion

Personally, I think we should have a blocklist and a lock list of all globally blocked IPs and locked users. The list can't be found in any special pages. And I think we need to have the ability to lock users with an expiration (so a lot of proposals about global blocking for accounts). Thingofme (talk) 08:44, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Thingofme: Special:GlobalBlockList is a list of all global blocks. — xaosflux ^Talk 19:10, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What about list of global locks? The list only represent logs, not represent like the list of local blocks, and so it's not having a table-styled list. Thingofme (talk) 09:43, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say it solved all the problems :) — xaosflux ^Talk 12:37, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is a phabricator proposals about only global blocking the accounts, and that mean users can log into the account and receive an error of not able to edit in Wikimedia wikis. Can't log in is too much. We want to prevent editing, not logging in. Thingofme (talk) 15:35, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Thingofme: we who? Locking exists explicitly to prevent logging on. If you want to talk about creating "global blocks" for accounts - please open another item, and reference phab:T17294. — xaosflux ^Talk 01:04, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A user script for this exists already at en:User:GeneralNotability/mark-locked.js, no? --Izno (talk) 00:28, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Highlighting locked users should not be added as a regular feature if highlighting blocked ones isn't, and both are currently already implemented by well-functioning user scripts/gadgets (see Izno above and mediawiki:Gadget-markblocked.js respectively). ~~~~
