All right, but what is the actual value for WMF
wikis, and where is this
information available?
The configuration of WMF wikis is publicly available at
https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/ (especially
https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/CommonSettings.php.txt and
https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt) – IIANM,
Let me quote a few words about this kind of publicity by Douglas Adams.
<http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/40705-but-the-plans-were-on-display-on-display-i-eventually>
This is a basic information for admins wikiwide, whose overwhelming
majority are not technical gurus – actually, the conception of range
blocking and CIDR calculation is hard to understand them, not to dig in
such documents or query API (the noc domain/hostname is brand new for me,
too, although I have been familiarized myself with technical details for a
couple of years).
Is there any possibility to make this information appear in
Special:Version? Or alternatively on a Meta page to which
MediaWiki:Blockiptext can link?
there
is no wgBlockCIDRLimit override there, therefore, it is left at the
MediaWiki default of /16 for IPv4 and /19 for IPv6.
This is good news, thank you!
