 * Please see discussion at MediaWiki talk:Autoblockedtext before making this change. Jackmcbarn (talk) 11:35, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: This is one of those things that legal can fix itself or request a change, and as such I am closing this request as there is no need to announce to everyone that there is a potential issue here and honestly I think that should have followed the procedure and emailed the issue to the legal team or at very least followed the Bugzilla reporting procedure for submitting a security bug. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (t • e • c) 14:43, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Legal have been aware since 20 August 2013, Bugzilla since 18th August2013, the Foundation in general since 9 August 2013.
 * Standard procedure for security issues not fixed by vendors in a reasonable amount of time is to issue a CVE, or otherwise widely publicise the bug. I have chosen to follow a middle path, where the community can at least fix the obvious manifestation of this bug on the website we collectively manage, the flagship of the movement and arguably a very important website both in its own right and as an advocate for open source and open knowledge.
 * I have also, prior to my post above, reminded the developer community, WMF legal, the meta community and the chief executive. All the best, Rich Farmbrough, 20:55, 16 April 2014 (UTC).

Update request
I am intending to update the text due to technical formatting. A log will be used to direct the blocked user for additional blocks to the suspected account. This is the code that must be provided for the update: Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by $1. The reason given for $1's block was "$2". See [[ the block log] for more information.

 * there are syntax errors in your code above. Also, the reason from the block log is already provided with parameter $2. —  xaosflux  Talk 03:55, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
