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.
