Extension:GlobalBlocking/globalblocks table
The globalblocks table stores global blocks that have not expired. These blocks can target IP addresses and IP ranges. This table is stored on a central DB and updates to it are currently not applied via update.php (so must be done manually).
Fields edit
gb_id edit
Primary key
gb_address edit
The target of the block. One of an IP address or IP range.
gb_target_central_id edit
| MediaWiki version: | ≥ 1.42 |
The central ID for the target of the block. 0 if the target is an IP address or IP range.
gb_by edit
The username of the performer of the global block.
gb_by_central_id edit
| MediaWiki version: | ≥ 1.38 |
The central ID for the performer of the global block.
gb_by_wiki edit
The wiki where the block was performed, used to provide a link to the performer of the block on another wiki.
gb_reason edit
The reason provided to the global block by the performer of the block.
gb_timestamp edit
The timestamp the block was applied.
gb_anon_only edit
Whether the global block only targets anon users
gb_expiry edit
The expiry timestamp for the block. Blocks can have an infinite expiry.
gb_range_start edit
The first IP address in hexadecimal form for the range of IPs that is targeted by this block. For a block that targets a single IP this will be the same as gb_address but in hexadecimal form.
gb_range_end edit
The last IP address in hexadecimal form for the range of IPs that is targeted by this block. For a block that targets a single IP this will be the same as gb_address but in hexadecimal form.
