The enhancement to Special:Checkuser to allow blocking from the returned results page done in 12808 (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12808) is hugely useful, for prolific sockmasters it saves a great deal of time and it's generally awesome. However I have two enhancement requests which I will enter as separate bugzilla entries. The first one is that often, there is a desire to do further investigation, even if it is clear that the accounts found need blocking. The "block selected users" button carries out the block on the same page that the results were presented on, losing the results found so that it can display the text "the users X Y Z were blocked". It would be nice if there was a way to request the block be performed, but launch the result onto a new page instead of on the same page. While you can use the "back" button to return to the previous page this is not always optimal. Perhaps a check box to ask for a new page or something similar? Perhaps a change in default behavior?
