No matter what block-options one chooses that "autoblock disabled" is always there for IPs:

http://fo.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Serstakt%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3A1.2.3.4&uselang=en

IMHO to show "autoblock disabled" in logs makes no sense for IPs,
it makes sense for accounts, where the valid blockoption "Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent IPs they try to edit from" is unchecked.

Therefore, please can the log be changed not to show "autoblock disabled" for blocks of IPs, while it should still be there when an account-name is blocked with that option.

Many thanks in advance for Your help

Changed summary too.

Really, the log should note when autoblock is *enabled* instead of when it is disabled. This is a) confusing for users and new sysops and b) Just Makes Sense -- we note when "harder" block options are enabled (emailban, no user talk editing) & autoblock is "harder" than autoblock-disabled. Please switch this.

Show autoblock enabled for accounts is, IMHO, as confusing as showing autoblock dissabled on IP adresses; that's why this message was deleted. :)

This error seems to be resolved when months ago the software was updated. "autoblock dissabled" no longer appears when blocking IP adresses. RESOLVED FIXED seems reasonable here.

Hello. Reopening due to MW 1.18 deployement. As you can see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:BlockList on the blocklist the "autoblock disabled" appears again for IP addresses. It's a nonsense and confusing. Could you please remove that for IPs? Thank you.
