@kaldari, what do you think of the 'Number of blocks' count? I'm not convinced that it's going to be useful to anyone. Here's my conversation with Leon about it earlier:

20:21:52 N<Niharika> musikanimal: And do we want the total number of blocks or not? It's mentioned in the ticket.
20:21:53 M<musikanimal> yeah total number of blocks + autoblocks at the top of Special:BlockList
20:22:26 N<Niharika> musikanimal: Is that number useful?
20:22:36 M<musikanimal> that one is more just for fun, to be honest
20:22:48 M<musikanimal> there were always a be a lot of active blocks
20:23:17 M<musikanimal> not really important, I just recommended it to be consistent with Special:AutoblockList
20:23:36 N<Niharika> musikanimal: Yeah, its very very high apparently. I'm wondering if we're just adding more cruft to the software.
20:24:00 N<Niharika> Okay, let's see what kaldari has to say to this. I'll add this convo to the ticket.
20:24:13 M<musikanimal> eh, maybe, for enwiki it's pretty much a useless number, but probably not so for smaller wikis

This number is going to be somewhere around half million on enwiki.

Also, Special:BlockList lets you search usernames and do some filtering so the number we show will have to reflect that filtering as well which makes it significantly more complicated that the autoblock count.

Yeah, I don't see any reason we need to have total block count on Special:BlockList. It's only really useful on Special:AutoblockList. Let's just add it there and not to both.
