Description Jacob Robbins 2011-11-21 23:13:08 UTC
ADD: Sysop can block from reading (IP, username, username mask).
Comment 1 Chad H. 2011-11-21 23:14:49 UTC
This is already possible on private wikis with:
$wgBlockDisablesLogin = true

It's pretty much useless to do this on a public wiki since someone could just log out (and is doubly useless if you've got an ISP that rotates IPs fairly often)

Bogus.
