Last week a sysop blocked an IP [http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%95%CE%B9%CE%B4%CE%B9%CE%BA%CF%8C:Log/block], but after a while I saw some edits from the blocked IP. I looked at the blocklist [http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%95%CE%B9%CE%B4%CE%B9%CE%BA%CF%8C:Ipblocklist] and there wasn't an entry for that IP. Today same thing. A third sysop blocked another IP and we still had edits from that IP and no entry at the blocklist, so I tried to block it again, but nothing. I then tried to block myself, and still there is no entry at the blocklist. Blocks were working without problems before some weeks (last entry at blocklist is 15th of October). I locked the page which was vandalised by that IP at the last incident, but if we have someone who will vandalise many pages we'll need to lock them all if we can't block a user or an IP.
Looks like the block length assignments are backwards: http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Ipboptions It should be localized, followed by machine-readable English form.
Fixed file, should work now...
It seems it was not the only problem. There was an apostrophe (') in the localised block length assignments that caused the problem. [http://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3AIpboptions&diff=77304&oldid=77288 fixed].
It seems it is like this also in the cvs. Maybe you should fix it.
Just did.
