http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Admin_tools_development#Ability_to_block_referring_IP_on_XFF

In addition to what Billinghurst has requested, it might be nice if in the future, an abuser uses carrier-grade NAT, we can block something like "103.6.23.5/24/xff:10.0.0.0/16" as well.

reverted
Comment 5 Alex Monk 2013-03-30 13:18:53 UTC 
No it wasn't.
Comment 6 Jesús Martínez Novo (Ciencia Al Poder) 2013-03-30 13:23:17 UTC 
Global blocking is Gerrit change #42884 which was merged

The "normal" blocking (not global) is at bug 23343, which wasn't needed to fix this bug, so removing it as dependency of this one.
Comment 7 jeremyb 2013-03-30 13:29:50 UTC 
Yeah, sorry for the noise.
