An autoblock is an automatic block of an IP address. Autoblocks are the result of an attempt to edit any wiki from an IP address recently used by a blocked user. Each time a user edits, the IP address from which the edit was made is noted. If a blocked user attempts to edit, the IP from which they are editing is "autoblocked", to prevent their switching to an anonymous editor or under a sockpuppet username.
