Block history for individual IPs on ranges

  • Problem: It would be nice to be able to see the block history for individual IPs on a range when viewing the range's contribution history, both past and present. This is useful when evaluating whether a rangeblock against a vandal is desirable, what IPs the block needs (or doesn't need) to reach, and what blocks might be superseded if a rangeblock is imposed, a problem I've noted before.
  • Proposed solution: Allow block history for a range to be visible in the range's contributions history.
  • Who would benefit: Everybody who would benefit from more efficient blocking.

Discussion

  • I am ok with it if it comes with ways of not block ISPs/Severs with dynamic IPs, some users, specially outside first world countries, may get blocked from using or edit wiki because some vandal happens to have the same,ISP provider as this person, I think that should be seem firest before a such tool be made Meganinja202 (talk) 14:37, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This proposal is about block history for all IPs and subranges of a given range. Blocking functionality for ranges has been existing for a long time, and I don't think anybody is arguing that such blocks should be handled very carefully. ~~~~
