Log Message:
- (bug 7883) Added autoblock whitelisting feature, using which specific ranges can be protected from autoblocking. These ranges are specified, in list format, in the autoblock_whitelist system message.
Is this the best place for this to be specified?

Nice and verbose. :D
$wlEntry = substr($line, 1);
$wlEntry = trim($wlEntry);
Investigate the trim() parameters a bit more, this should be able to be cut down to one line.
+/**
- Get the start and end of a range.
- @param $range The range to get the start and end for.
- @return array An array with the first element as the start of the range, as a long, and the second element as the end of the range, also as a long.

list( $network, $bits ) = wfParseCIDR( $range );
if ( $network !== false ) {
$start = sprintf( '%08X', $network );
$end = sprintf( '%08X', $network + (1 << (32 - $bits)) - 1 );
return array($start, $end);
}
return false;
+}
Wouldn't a better place for this be as a static function of the IP class? (And isn't wfParseCIDR deprecated in favour of such a function?)
+/**
- Determine if a given integer IPv4 address is in a given CIDR network
- @param $addr The address to check against the given range.
- @param $range The range to check the given address against.
- @return bool Whether or not the given address is in the given range.

+function wfIsAddressInRange( $addr, $range ) {
$unsignedIP = IP::toUnsigned($addr);
$startend = wfRangeStartEnd($range);
$start = $startend[0];
$end = $startend[1];
return (($unsignedIP >= $start) && ($unsignedip <= $end));
+}
Ditto above.

Different wikis will have different preferences as to how dynamic you have to be before being whitelisted, and it would be hard to keep the list up to date between releases, so I'd say allowing admins to specify it wiki-wide somehow is a good idea, and system messages are at least as good as any such mechanism.
