Mar 26, 2017 at 2:07 comment added Dan Petersen Yes, it's always faithful. But you're right: you need to invert the primes 2 and 3 to get the isomorphism $\overline M_{1,1} \cong \mathbb P(4,6)$.
Mar 25, 2017 at 22:34 comment added André Henriques @Dan. Yes, over $\mathbb C$, that's a description of those stacks. But my statement also holds over $\mathbb Q$. Over rings of positive characteristic (e.g. characteristic two), I'm not sure whether the action of $\mathbb Z/2$ on an elliptic curve is always faithful. Is it always faithful?
Mar 25, 2017 at 21:15 comment added Dan Petersen If you consider the Deligne-Mumford compactifications instead, then the statement is that the orbifold projective line $\mathbb P(4,6)$ is a $\mathbb Z/2$-gerbe over the orbifold projective line $\mathbb P(2,3)$.
Mar 7, 2017 at 20:40 comment added Will Sawin I believe this other moduli stack is the moduli stack of genus 0 modular curves with 4 marked points, one unlabeld and three labeled.
Mar 7, 2017 at 14:55 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar Uninteresting remark: The DM stack is (by definition) "the rigidification of the moduli stack of elliptic curves with respect to the flat normal subgroup $\{\pm 1\}$ of the inertia stack". That's a nice name right?
