Description

On Special:Blockip we see
IP Address or username: _________

*But that doesn't make sense if we filled in a username above.
Maybe if we click it, no anonymous users will ever be able to use our
site, we worry.

So say "Block anonymous users from this IP address".

*But that doesn't make sense if we filled in a username above.
Maybe if we click it nobody will ever be able to create an account
again, etc.

So say "Block account creation from this IP address".

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Lowest.Nov 21 2014, 9:50 PM

• bzimport set Reference to bz10156.

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

That's why the boxes are hidden when inappropriate for what was typed.

Sorry, No. You must be used to going to Special:Blockip via clicking links with parameters that fill in the fields for you.

If you just visit it out of the blue, you will see none of the text fields filled in, and all the boxes prechecked!

Prechecked or not, text fields filled or not, bad still anyways.
