The BlockBatch extension adds a special page, Special:BlockBatch, where users with the 'blockbatch' right can block multiple users easily.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called BlockBatch in your extensions/ folder.

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  require_once "$IP/extensions/BlockBatch/BlockBatch.php";
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

By default, this extension lets only bureaucrats block batches of users. You can change it to, e.g., let sysops block batches of users:

$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['blockbatch'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['blockbatch'] = true;
