Adding User-notice. This ticket will enable the global autoblocks feature on WMF wikis (parent epic task T368949 describes the feature and should probably the one to link). We plan to do this today.

Thank you! I will add this to the current Tech News with the following wording:
Wikimedia project contributors will now notice that autoblocked users can no longer make subsequent edits in any Wikimedia project once logged out of their temporary accounts. Previously, blocked temporary accounts could make another edit in other projects, causing the auto-creation of another temporary account. Also, autoblocks could only work for local blocks. With this improvement, autoblocks can globally block a temporary account user and prevent them from further account creation in the Wikimedia projects.1
Hi. Thanks for the wording.
However, I'm not sure that this wording is accurate to what is being done in this ticket and the parent epic. I put some suggested wording on a WMF google doc.
