             Bug #: 36834
           Summary: Exit page from
                    https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalBlock
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: GlobalBlocking
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected], [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


When the page
  https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalBlock is used to globally block
an IP address, the script exits to the url 
  https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php
with the text like 

    The IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx has been successfully blocked on all
projects.
    Add another global block.
    You can block the IP on Meta as well ...

This is unhelpful as it doesn't show the history of the IP address, so one
cannot see particularly problematic or regularly abused IP addresses. It would
be more useful if the page returned to
  https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalBlock/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
and had the text above, and then the form and any previous IP history.

Thanks for your consideration
