This tool will certainly help a lot, but we mustn't get carried away with its power by blocking whole swathes of the Internet. Anons are valuable, and their editing Wikipedia is a fundamental principle of ours. Anons should be afforded as many rights as are possible without exposing ourselves to too much vandalism.

I've just had confirmation that this should be working. From AOL this morning:
I have just now added all the domains you have listed below to our config to get XFF headers. You should see them sometime later today when the process is finished updating all of our web proxies.
Thanks to Jim Sheafer for setting this up, and to Mike Wise for putting me in contact with him.
Hopefully this means you can now block one AOL user without affecting another one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Advice_to_AOL_users should probably be updated when we're sure this is working.
