             Bug #: 40439
           Summary: Allow exceptions to rangeblocks
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: GlobalBlocking
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


When we rangeblock webhosts, some people have bots or other legitimate on their
own dedicated subnets. When a legitimate user requests an exemption for their
bot, as occured with the IPv6 rangeblock of OVH, we should not have to replace
a single block with many (2^16+2^15...2^7=2^17-2^7). It would be very nice if
we could do something like "Steward X exempted 2001:db8:2:/48 from the
rangeblock 2001:db8::/32 (until June 2013)".

This would also go well with local rangeblocking.
