There should be a feature within the checkuser interface to automatically calculate the smallest CIDR necessary to block some given set of IPs. Manually calculating it is time-consuming and error-prone.
Can any of the IPs in the list be a CIDR?

Done in r47226

This just makes it easier to copy and paste stuff from results (or page history or whatever) without having to manually make sure you've got only the IPs.
I tested copy-pasting the auto-WHOIS JS tool output and such when I wrote it. If there is another type of output that it doesn't filter out, you should paste out a sample so I know what to tweak.

It looks like an IP, but really that's not valid: http://toolserver.org/~chm/whois.php?ip=2.0.4.16 & forgot to reopen this previously.

Various fixes in r51179. Some reserved IPs treated as such.
