             Bug #: 35090
           Summary: Block messages for rangeblocks are confusing
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Blocking
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


Currently, the block message for both single blocked IP's and rangeblocks is

Information about the block: account creation from this IP address (address or
range) was blocked by (blocking admin), who gave the reason the reason

In case of a range block it would be much clearer for the blocked to get a
message more like

"Information about the block: account creation from the range (range), which
your ip address (address) is a part of was blocked by (blocking admin), who
gave the reason"

or something like 
"Your IP address (address) is part of the range (range). account creation from
that range was blocked by (blocking admin), who gave the reason (reason)"
