When I try and edit any page on mobile I get the message "Your account is blocked from editing." This is because wgMFIsUserBlocked = true I'm not sure why this value is true as it simply returns the result of Skin->getUser()->getBlocked() and my account is not blocked.
Also when I am logged out and go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arist%C3%B3fanes If I click edit then I also get the message "Your account is blocked from editing."
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Mingle card https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/mobile/cards/1675
user->isBlocked might return true for a logged in user who's IP is blocked it seems. Oh dear.
Change 111899 had a related patch set uploaded by Jdlrobson: Limit blocked test to logged in users. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/111899
Fixed. This was caused by an autoblock related to a single user on en.wiki. Apparently the autoblock must have hit some IP related to en.m.wikipedia.org.
I'm reopening this as the root cause of this issue has not yet been resolved. If it happened for this one user, it's only time until it happens again unless we resolve the underlying issue. From Brion: "It's possible that some IP address in the load balancer or caching proxy chain on the mobile side isn't properly being registered as a trusted IP, and is getting blocked, thus blocking all editors who trigger things through the wrong path. I strongly recommend that someone do a little checking in the database, or run a CheckUser on the account that got blocked to check which IPs were recorded and ended up being autoblocked, so we can make sure it doesn't repeat..."
I'm tentatively reclosing this as fixed. Like Jon mentioned in IRC, after some debugging this does not appear to be a MobileFrontend issue. Max deployed a potential fix, though current status is unclear: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/111927/ If the issue is still ongoing, an RT ticket should be opened for ops.
