This seems a bit more of a pressing need now that we can autoblock the IPs of
vandal usernames,
since we have no way of knowing if an IP is shared.
see bug 7883

That still requires a whitelist though... it's hard to imagine that every shared IP could be listed :).
Allowing blocked users to add unblock requests on their talk seems to have worked well for
wikipedia, so there seems little harm in enabling it on wikibooks as well, especially since we could
use the new block option for serial vandals and serial spambots, in the hopes of catching the IPs.

Please also enable this for English Wikiversity. I thought this was standard
behavior anyway?

Yes, the English language Wikiversity now needs this....we are finally getting
some editors who we need to block and then talk to.
