Itwiki have a issue with a global block. Itwiki admins have tried to change it with a local block to relax the account creation restriction but for some reason is impossible to assign a local one (see http://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speciale%3ARegistri&type=gblblock&user=&page=Utente%3A151.49.0.0%2F18&year=&month=-1&tagfilter= )
I confirm as steward that I couldn't remove either the global block on itwiki; but I could at testwiki <https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/test/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=gblblock&user=Dferg&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=>. Stewards have the ability to remove global blocks locally via the global 'steward' group; something wrong happens here.
Created attachment 7843 [details] Screenshot of the problem Added screenshot that shows the error when trying to whitelist the global block locally.

Forgot to say that it is still <http://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speciale%3AElencoBlocchiGlobali&ip=151.49.0.0%2F18> locally active. When you whitelist it locally the message above contains "locally dissabled" or similar.
I don't understand the problem. The screenshot says that the block is already locally disabled, doesn't it? According to the database, it is indeed already disabled on itwiki mysql> select * from global_block_whitelist where gbw_address='151.49.0.0/18'; +--------+---------------+--------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+----------------+ | gbw_id | gbw_address | gbw_by | gbw_by_text | gbw_reason | gbw_expiry | +--------+---------------+--------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+----------------+ | 1169 | 151.49.0.0/18 | 79968 | Vituzzu | per consentire la registrazione ad un nuovo utente | 20100508123446 | +--------+---------------+--------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Are users still being blocked from that range?
No response to Andrew's query, so I'm assuming this can be closed.
