The GlobalBlocking extension allows a user with the appropriate permissions to block a single IP address on all projects sharing the same globalblocking database. It is intended to be used on Wikimedia for combatting severe crosswiki vandalism and spam.
[edit] Installation instructions
To retrieve the code, the following svn command may be used:
svn co http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/GlobalBlocking/
Add this line to LocalSettings.php:
require_once($IP.'extensions/GlobalBlocking/GlobalBlocking.php');
You will also need to set up a database for this extension to work. At a minimum (all wikis running on the same host), you need to create a local database called 'globalblocking', and grant all database users that your wikis run as full permissions on that database (at a mimimum, SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE).
