Logging details

Is there any other slightly more detailed accounting done anywhere of why x range or IP was blocked? The log entries in some cases are kind of vague. rootology (T) 01:36, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

hmm good point, I'll ask the stewards to make a Global blocking/List (and I'll probably update them myself) and list detailed reasons as to why an Ip or and Ip range was blocked so inquisitive admins from other wikis will know the reason for the block since the edit summaries may not be that clear..--Cometstyles 01:41, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. It'd make it easier to track down the wheres and whys (may be especially useful for us on Commons, since people come from all over). :) rootology (T) 01:55, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
How should we deal range blocks? When should global range blocks be okay? See for instance 173.32.0.0/16 and 189.81.0.0/16 -- sj | help translate |+
I'd suggest to place them or not in consultation with other stewards, keeping in mind the principles discussed on these pages (minimum blocking, only when necessary, only for cross-wiki stuff etc...)  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 00:50, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
