Description Gurch 2008-09-08 17:59:01 UTC 
It would appear that I cannot rollback anonymous users through the API.

URL: 

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php

Post data (percent-encoded):

action=rollback&format=xml&title=User+talk%3aGurch&user=86.140.177.30&token=f88492c3c482f3f322a9f336faba934a%2b%5c

Response: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><api><error code="invaliduser" info="Invalid username ``86.140.177.30&#039;&#039;" /></api>

Reproduced in other formats on other pages with other anonymous users, also tried percent-encoding the whole username.

Loosen the validation for IPs

This patch, very simply, only runs the username through the validator if the username is not an IP. If the username is an IP, the validator automatically fails it.

Do it differently

Just change the above to do it the same way as you did it in the ApiQueryBlocks.php
