BlockOpenProxies is a MediaWiki extension that blocks open proxies. It contains a MediaWiki script, addProxies.php, that creates a proxy table and adds to it a list of IP addresses from a CSV file. (TODO: The table should be added by update.php, not by addProxies.php.) (TODO: It's pointless to run this (possibly expensive) query except when the user is trying to edit.)
