If you are indicating that without a reverse CU, then it would not be the case for never, just unusual and rarely. The [[m:Titleblacklist]] has entries that have user names within them, so if one of those users went to create an account at a new wiki, they would not be able to do so, and it would log in the TBL log. Even with some small wikis, they copy the Mediawiki:... files from enWP and utilise them at their wiki, and if they copy that TBL, and the user looks to create an account at that new wiki, we are in the same situation. While such may possibly be remedied by oversight of the logs, I am not sure that there is an oversight capacity of the TBL log. If you mean that with the IP address we could not identify a user, it may be anywhere between certain and impossible with checkuser, and that is due to the nature of the tool and IP addresses. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
