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?
As of this exact moment, a username would be blockable once it has been used to log in on that wiki.
