Description Brion Vibber 2011-06-10 00:53:44 UTC
In internal discussions re: IPv6 deployment for Wikimedia, we found that some of our large sites such as en.wikipedia.org have a recentchanges.rc_ip column that is not wide enough to hold IPv6 addresses.

Since CheckUser has long since taken over all other roles rc_ip used to hold for logging, if we can let CheckUser also handle this we'll be able to simply turn off $wgPutIPInRC and leave rc_ip entries empty without having to worry about it.

Will need backport to 1.17.
Comment 1 Aaron Schulz 2011-06-15 01:21:53 UTC
Is there already a way to add block options via hook? Maybe we could just defined an autoblock handler callback (setable via extension) and only show the option if it's set.
Comment 2 Happy-melon 2011-06-27 23:04:21 UTC
The functionality isn't currently in either the old or new blocking code, but it could be much more easily added in the new (1.18+) code.
Comment 3 Aaron Schulz 2011-07-15 00:06:13 UTC
Added to code in 92220. Must be configured to use.
