In our case here we give away /48 IPV6 to users by default. So I'm wondering, when a IP vandalize Wikipedia or any other project and a block will be placed, how is this done?
Will the block just "hit" the IP or will it block a complete range to start with?
My understanding is that it currently doesn't apply a range by default, so it would just hit the specific IP unless you apply a CIDR suffix like /48 or /64. This is discussed in more detail here:
