I've just made a change to MediaWiki so that it respects XFF headers for AOL proxies. The change is live on Wikimedia right now. The logs seem to indicate that AOL is not giving us XFF headers consistently, but hopefully that's a problem we can sort out with them over the next few days.
I'd appreciate some reports from AOL users as to whether this is working.

So how to say this in [[Mediawiki:Blockiptext]]? Just leave it as-is with the table, because individual IPs won't be in the table ranges?
