Hello
I only found a way to block the last two octets of an IP address with nnn.mmm.0.0/16. Is there a possibility to block the three last octets like : nnn.0.0.0/8 (which does not work).
(I have a Wiki in french "visited" every day by several chinese people trying to use it for some political propaganda)
Thanks François Colonna

In LocalSettings.php, put:
$wgCIDRlimit = 8;
This will have a performance impact on a very busy wiki, apparently.
You should consider installing SpamBlacklist and one of the Captcha extensions. That got rid of the Chinese spammers on my wiki.

It did it without any effect.
