Change Details

The new Special page is very useful, but there is no way to get the total number of autoblocks without adjusting the "Items per page" and counting. The total tells us if any particular blocks spiraled out of control and caused too many autoblocks, or more recently, gauging potential collateral damage of the new cookie block feature. We may wish to make the same change to Special:Block. In my mind it there offers nothing more than a fun statistic, so if it's too much work or we want to save it for later than by all means, sidestep it.
