Description Purodha Blissenbach 2009-01-20 09:07:11 UTC
After a user was blocked with auto-IP block, two similar log
messages were generated, the later of which is an autoblock
message. The wiki block the IP address for a day, while the
user per his/her name was blocked for months, i.e. considerably
longer. Since autoblocks may be seen in relation to dynamically
assigned IP-addresses, this may be a good decision.

However, if the admin selected a consideralby shorter period
than a day, an autoblock of 1 day would be inappropriate.
If that is automatically taken care of (which I did not find
a sample for), then this is not-a-bug.

On the other hand, I'd see it as a feature request, of low
priority though, to make autoblock durations selectable,
too, since at times, you know about the typical lifetime of
connections, a specific provider has in specific ones of
his IP ranges.

Here are the log entries FYI:

Comment 1 John Mark Vandenberg 2011-04-28 14:52:49 UTC
The unblock aspect is bug 5445.
The autoblock exceeding the IP block duration is a bug.
Comment 2 Aaron Schulz 2011-10-07 00:37:15 UTC
Does the autoblock still exceed the main block in any cases now? (MW 1.18)
Comment 3 db [inactive,noenotif] 2012-10-01 19:49:18 UTC
Needs testing, Block::delete has a call to delete also the autoblocks of the block (was part of bug 5445)
Comment 4 Benjamin Chen 2013-02-20 03:30:53 UTC
Blocks shorter than 24 hours will now have autoblock expire together with the main block.
