             Bug #: 31795
           Summary: Special:Blocklist does not provide links to
                    contributions when an IP range is the targer
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.18
          Platform: All
               URL: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Special
                    :BlockList?wpTarget=&wpOptions%5B%5D=userblocks&wpOpti
                    ons%5B%5D=addressblocks
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Blocking
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


As with all other block targets, Special:Blocklist used to provide a link to
Special:Contributions for IP ranges. While often this would not return any
actual contributions (and wouldn't at all without the javascript thingie turned
on), this link could still be used to access the Checkuser form for that range
or the "change block settings" link. Now these functions are a bit less
accessible, as the target range is displayed in plain text which must be copied
and placed into a form manually. While I'm sure most users aren't too
concerned, this is a bit of an impediment to me as a checkuser, as I deal with
rangeblocks frequently when reviewing unblock and account requests.
