The blocked IP list in wikipedia is inaccurate. The dates listed for blocks to expire are incorrect. Meaning that they are not tied to the block mechanism.
An admin can block an IP address for a period of time beyond the expiry date listed on the blocked IP page.
I am not familiar with the mechanism. Does the block page allow one to enter periods of time beyond a single day (seems to be the default)?
Can one block for a period of time different then the comment indicates?
Can one extend blocks without updating the comment.
