Block user link when viewing user page

Description:
Hi. I think it would be handy to have a "Block this user" link in the toolbox on the
left (in the Monobook skin) when the user is an admin and is viewing a user page (or
user contributions etc. - whichever pages have the "user contributions" link). It's
altogether too much trouble having to go to [[Special:Blockip]] to block a user,
especially when you are dealing on RC patrol with a flood of vandals.

A "Block this user" link in the toolbox is implemented at http://test.wikipedia.jp/.

You need to be a sysop to test this. Follow
http://test.wikipedia.jp/project:Administrators#requests_for_additional_user_rights
or go to the IRC link mentioned there.
