Screenshot of garbled Special:Blockip page

The page Special:Blockip is pretty unreadable:
- a series of words top down on the left, meaning unclear,
- some fields to be filled at the right, purpose unclear,
- relations between text and fields cannot be established,
- spelt out html entities,
- spelt out wikitext,
- spelt out html markup,
- text extends outside window way to the right,
- field content extends to the outside of the window,
all in all a mess.

I suggest to measue the lengths of the field lables in the
upper block. If they would wrap to more than 2 lines, let
them be above the field input via colspan="2", and put the
field in an extra row.

I suggest to render all html entities, html markup, and wiki
markup as intended.

I suggest to wrap all text at the right edge of the window.
(Maybe with the *only* exception of the option list which may
not wrap if the browser would not let it wrap)
