Feature documentation
GlobalBlocking allows administrators to block IP/IP ranges across all wikis.

Globally blocked IPs will not be allowed to perform certain actions on any wiki, such as editing and uploading files.

It adds the special pages:
 * Special:GlobalBlock (block an IP or IP range)
 * Special:GlobalUnblock (unblock an IP or IP range)
 * Special:GlobalBlockList (lists all the IP/ranges currently globally blocked)
 * Special:GlobalBlockWhitelist (disable a global block for an IP/range only on the current wiki)

It also has an API.
