Default block expiry for temporary accounts

@AramilFeraxa set MediaWiki:Ipb-default-expiry-temporary-account to 3 months in August 2025. Apparently, the decision was made based on plwiki's practice (which itself was based on a WMF employee's advice) and some stewards' preference at the time.

I would like to argue that TAs should be blocked indefinitely by default, per enwiki's practice. The primary reason is so that the block reason banner would remain even after the expiration of the account. Making blocks more visible would help with future inspections.

Should TAs be blocked for 3 months or indefinitely by default?

I think 3 months as a default is a good thing. You can select indefinite in the block menu fairly easily if that's what you actually intend to issue a block for, and I might argue that not everything necessarily needs an indefinite block. I'll grant, there are times and places where an indefinite block is warranted, though I'd argue that a week-long block suffices in many circumstances of simple vandalism and messing around, or even just tossing them out for the duration of the temp account.

Event organizer for DasShana

Global user: DasShana (talk • contribs • User rights • global contributions • CentralAuth • block log)

Reason for request: I've held organiser rights previously when directly employed at Wikimedia CH. Since I'm only working with them as a freelancer, I have shut down my old account linked to my employment. I continue organising events such as an edit-a-thon in France in August (not Wikimania-related), so would appreciate to have this access again since it helps greatly!

Criteria met:

• No active blocks: Confirmed
• Global edits: 10 (just cracking it in again)
• Additional Criteria: Freelancer for WMCH, community organiser
