The GlobalBlocking extension allows a user with the appropriate permissions to block a single IP address on all Wikimedia projects sharing the same globalblocking database. It is intended to be used for combating severe cross-wiki vandalism and spam.
[edit] Installation instructions
Download the latest snapshot and extract it to your extensions directory.
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).
This extension is being used on one or more of Wikimedia's wikis. It means that the extension is stable and works well enough to be used by such high traffic websites. A full list of the extensions installed on a particular wiki is produced by Special:Version on that wiki.
