This is because the IPv6 support from REL1_3A wasn't merged into REL1_4. I'll
try to have a look at this later if no-one else does.

Changing this bug to feature request: Add IPv6 support

...Additionally, on some configurations on a machine supporting ipv6, normal
ipv4 ips get ipv6 representations, ie "::ffff:4.225.242.191". This causes all
the problems with ipv6 ips.

And, they can't be blocked. a block on "::ffff:4.225.242.191" gives the error
"No such user", instead of seeing it as an IP block. A block on the IP in the
normal format just doesn't affect them.

...and, a dirty gross nasty hack that fixed the problem, in
includes/ProxyTools.php, change

$ipchain = array( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] );

to

$ipchain = array( str_replace("::ffff:", "",$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) );

...this is on line 23 on last night's CVS HEAD.

Note that the :-prefixed forms are no longer legal titles, so connecting to
eg localhost over IPv6 makes stuff blow up when the IP username is illegal.

Bumping this from enhancement to normal. Some hosts where the
server listens on IPv6 will break for IPv4-to-IPv6 translated
addresses, which means everybody on the present internet.

Adding:

if ( $this->mName{0} == ':' ) {
    $this->mName = 'IPv6'.$this->mName;
}

to getName() in includes/User.php makes it. I didn't try to go further though (no test to search for IPv6::1-including threads, and so on).

Normal IPv4 user and name blocks are still sane on my test wiki, IPv6 blocks
should work but I don't feel like spoofing around to test that.

So it hasn't been tested?

I've done a lot of testing now (changing some things here and there). By forcing
my IP to be that of a blocked IPv6 one (or in a blocked range), the behavoir
seems correct.

OK, this can closed again. The support was reverted out and added back a while ago.

See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/IPv6_support.

A tracking bug might be nice. The all caps stuff does make consistency, but it gives me the willies.
