Currently on the explanatory text for the block log, it says "See [[Wikipedia talk:Block log]] for discussion." This line should be removed because it is confusing newbies - this is obvious at a glance of Wikipedia talk:Block log; many newbies think it is a place to discuss blocks. The message was added when many logs were changing to use special pages rather than pages in the Wikipedia namespace. It presumably made sense then to make it easier to find the archived blocks. Nowadays Wikipedia talk:block log is mostly being used incorrectly and anyone wanting to view a block from before 2005 probably has a good reason and therefore knows what they're doing.

Replace <span class=plainlinks>[{{fullurl:Special:BlockList|action=unblock}} '''unblock''']</span>
with [[Special:Unblock|'''unblock''']]
, because there is a new special page:
Special:Unblock.

with this:
''[[Special:BlockIP|'''Block''']] or [[Special:Unblock|'''unblock''']] an IP or user or view the '''[[Special:BlockList|list of active blocks]]'''.

Please change the URL of the "calculate a rangeblock" tool to http://tools.wmflabs.org/blockcalc/, as this tool has migrated away from the Toolserver. Thanks, — This, that and the other (talk) 02:25, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Wrap the first sentence in sysop-show to hide it from non-admins. — Train2104 ( t • c) 01:33, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

To fix a
missing end tag lint error, please add ''
just before the closing </span>
in
:<span class="sysop-show" style="display: none;">''[[Special:BlockIP|'''Block''']] or [[Special:Unblock|'''unblock''']] an IP or user. </span>

<span>...</span>
. To avoid misnested <span>''...</span>''
, do it this way::''<span class="sysop-show" style="display: none;">[[Special:BlockIP|'''Block''']] or [[Special:Unblock|'''unblock''']] an IP or user. </span>View the '''[[Special:BlockList|list of active blocks]]''' or [[toolforge:ip-range-calc|'''calculate a rangeblock''']]. See also the [[:m:Special:Log/gblblock|global IP block log]] and the [[Special:Log/gblblock|log of local enabling/disabling of global blocks]].'' <!-- Any way to propagate the selected parameters here? -->

Please change
:''<span class="sysop-show" style="display: none;">
to
:''<span class="sysop-show">
i.e. remove the inline styles. The sysop-show
class already hides things from non-sysops, see
MediaWiki:Common.css. Thanks, --
