Is it blockable as soon as it is used on a wiki, or as soon as it's registered? On enwiki, usernames deemed inappropriate are blocked on sight (mostly) - would this make that impossible, and make it so we have to wait until it edits (at which point, the potentially obscene name is permanently in the edit history).
My main question is, what is the definition of "blockable". Is that as soon as it is globally registered, or as soon as they edit on a particular wiki they can be blocked on it?

If the extension isn't changed from its current state, then it will continue to report (explicit) account creations for the local wiki.
Perhaps the better question is, "how should the log work"?

Well, it ''should'' show the account as soon as it's blockable, and not before, otherwise you could register "RobChurchSucks" on some obscure wiki and we'd see it, be unable to block it, and forget about it.
I'm assuming that autoconfirmation is also on a per-wiki basis?
