Piramidion triaged this task as Unbreak Now! priority.Feb 11 2019, 4:28 PM
Piramidion lowered the priority of this task from Unbreak Now! to Needs Triage.

I have closed this task, since it seems to be an intended behavior, per this enwiki page. Still doesn't make much sense to me, since when you block a separate IP address, you don't have to prevent the registered users from editing (even though there's an option for it). I don't get why autoblock does work that way.
