http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Admin_tools_development#Ability_to_block_referring_IP_on_XFF

In addition to what Billinghurst has requested, it might be nice if in the future, an abuser uses carrier-grade NAT, we can block something like "103.6.23.5/24/xff:10.0.0.0/16" as well.

This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 23343 ***

(not entirely a duplicate of the other bug)

Fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/42884/ which is now merged. Marking as closed.

reverted

No it wasn't.

Global blocking is Gerrit change 42884 which was merged

The "normal" blocking (not global) is at bug 23343, which wasn't needed to fix this bug, so removing it as dependency of this one.

Yeah, sorry for the noise.
