Is there any way to block IP's yet allow logged in users to edit from that IP? My college's IP got blocked this morning due to Vandalism. I was just about to revert some other vandalism at lunch when I got the blocked notice.
MediaWiki bug 550:
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=550
At present it's got a few suggested patches, it's working out what's the best one to implement in terms of its social effects.
(cc to wikitech-l - what's the current developers' view on a good solution to 550? Are we anywhere near having one implemented?)
As for the block itself, that's obviously collateral damage, and if you can tell us the IP it should be promptly unblocked. What was the text of the block message?

Yup, that's the IP.
The Vandalism justified the block, it just is a major inconvinience to those of us who want to contribute usefully :)

Oh, the IP was blocked for "vandalism" which makes sense when you look at the edits made to Help:Contents and the other Community Portal page (name escapes me off the top of my head)
