:AFAIK all MediaWiki systems has the same kind of autoblock (automatic block of an IP address). And as for when to use it, use common sense when no such policy exist. I don't like policy-ize every single parameter to an action. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 05:34, 6 June 2015 (PDT)

I wasn't trying to create policy.
I saw Your changing of the block another admin executed.
The term autoblock was unknown to me and not mentioned in our help section.
Therefore I was simply trying to clarify what it means and how it works.
If I would be inclined to add policy, this would have to be the next logical step anyway.
One should not even try to blow up policy without proper understanding of the matter concerned.
On the other hand, Your remark in the edit summary suggested to me that You are trying to establish policy:
"turn[ed] off autoblock -- I don't see the reason to prevent the user (not the hacker) from editing"
Whereas I would not know how to safely distinguish between hacker and user.
'''Regarding common sense''', I regard that expression as a misnomer, because those sense is not at all common. ;-)
