Hi folks,
I am new to this list but I have spent more than 5 years on Hungarian
Wikipedia.
Welcome here, Bináris :)
A better url for those of us which are not sysops in huwiki:
https://hu.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=blocks&bkprop=…
There are a lot of blocks without any visible
admin. All of them have
by="" byid="0" reason="Auto-added for persistent vandalism;
possible open
proxy."
What does this mean? Was it perhaps done by developers?
Probably. The same blocks seem to be present on all wikis.
I suspect some script banned them automatically everywhere.
Is this specific for 2005 or shall we still expect
such blocks?
No. Such kind of global blocks would be done at meta by a steward:

And if some script were to be put into place, it would get a fake username.
