Hello all,
I'm running an academic wiki (under Mediawiki 1.8.2), and I have a banning
problem: when I ban a user, all users with the same IP (ie. the whole
student's residence) are banned.
On this wiki, new account creation is disabled and only registered users
can view or post , so when I block an account.. it's blocked.
So is there a solution to ban an account without banning the IP associated
with it? Upgrading to the latest version of Mediawiki? Changing the
settings? Patching?
It tried the various existing options, to no avail, and the doc on this
matter is not entirely clear on IP/vs. account ban

Thanks for your help!
Regards,
