I'll work on this.

@WhitePhosphorus; How long should the block lasts? And explain whether the duration should be the same or different for logged-in and IP users.

@Ammarpad, according to blocking policy on zhwiki, 24 hours should be a reasonable duration for both logged-in and IP users.

Copying my comment from gerrit: please note that $wgAbuseFilterBlockDuration and $wgAbuseFilterAnonBlockDuration are just the default durations, but actual block expiries can be customized for every filter.

@WhitePhosphorus and I know this. When the admin forgets to set the duration, this value (24 hrs) is better than origin one.

Err, sorry for interruption, but what about the consensus?

About enabling the feature or the default duration?

@Ammarpad : sorry to disturb you but two months have past and I'm wondering when could we get that enabled, or are there any stuff we need to provide? Thanks a lot!

@WhitePhosphorus, I was busy somewhere else and no one merged it. It'll hopefully be deployed next week.
