RhinosF1 changed the visibility from "Public (No Login Required)" to "Custom Policy".

If so, that's a security issue

@Robkelk:

01:40, 9 August 2020 Robkelk talk contribs block blocked Kuma talk contribs from editing the namespaces All The Tropes and All The Tropes talk with an expiration time of 1 month (autoblock disabled) (User currentl has 12 Trope workshop pages out of 35 Trope workshop pages total, and despite being told repeatedly to practice better grammar, every edit makes the pages worse. Kuma may not create more Trope workshop pages until the pages Kuma has already created are cleaned up, or for one month, whichever comes first..) (unblock | change block)

That looks like you've blocked in the wrong namespace?

This is a bug, not a security issue.

A block not working is a security issue. It's allows a user to perform an action they shouldn't have the access to do.

From what I can see, the block doesn't exist as claimed though unless I'm missing something though.

This is not a security issue, it’s a functionality issue. This is not a security issue with our platform at all, and therefore should not be treated in a closed manner such as a security issue.

I cannot reproduce, also looking at the block https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Special:Block/Kuma you blocked the wrong namespace.

It should be Trope Workshop & talk not All The Tropes.

As I thought, closing as invalid. Re-open if needed.
