It would be nice if I could have stated my reason why as part of the blocking process and for [[wikipedia:Blocked IPs]] to show up in Recent Changes with my explanation automatically in an edit comment.
Agreed, I was going to add that feature but didn't finish it. I'll get on that...
Done...
BTW it also would be nice to be able to more easily track what these vandals have done so that the other damage these people have probably done can be fixed. Otherwise many of the less obvious changes these people have made will be obscured by someone else editing a vandalized article in order to improve it -- thus removing their IP/user name from Recent Changes. Could "contributions of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" automatically be generated and placed on [[wikipedia:Blocked IPs]] when xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is blocked?
Yeah, that's easy to do. I'll add it if there's no objection.
and done (in the development version, that is).
