It looks like the autoblock was created yesterday and
terminates automaticallytoday (see
http://wiki.qemu.org/index.php?title=Special:BlockList&action=search&ip=%23132).

That won't help much as long as the wiki thinks that everyone
has the localhost address because the next autoblock will
block all users again.

Are block lists really useful to protect the QEMU wiki?
Neither user names nor IP addresses are unique.
Spammerscan create any number of new names.
