Talk:Autoblock

Error?
The example says:
 * 3. The MediaWiki software, detecting the use of the IP by Steven, and assuming it to be Bort, issues a 24 hour block on Steven, in admin Susan's name. Susan is not notified of the block.

But this won't happen, because autoblocks only 'spread' for anonymous users. See function  in User.php: Am I missing something? MrBlueSky 21:11, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Help: or Manual: namespace?
Shouldn't this go in the Help: or Manual: namespace? I'm thinking the tone makes it more suitable for the former, except that there might be some copyright issues. Maybe Project: space, or perhaps meta, if we want to make it a page about autoblocking on this or other Wikimedia projects. Leucosticte (talk) 10:55, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

24 Hours
Is an autoblock always 24 hours? Or could it be longer? On the English Wikipedia Gale5050 was blocked forever, but I was autoblocked for 60 days! Plus do they appear in the block log? 47.16.99.72 01:02, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
