Details
blockUsers.php file is a maintenance script to block or unblock a batch of users.

| --reason | Reason for blocks. If empty, no reason will be shown in the logs | Optional |
| --reblock | Reblock users who are already blocked | Optional |

Terminal
$ php maintenance/blockUsers.php userlist.txt --performer "Foo" --reason "Vandalism" Blocking 'A' succeeded. Blocking ‘C’ succeeded. Blocking 'Bar' failed (There is no user by the name "Bar". Check your spelling.).
(This will block the users contained in the text file "userlist.txt")
If the filename is omitted, the script will expect a list of users on the standard input.
