→Blocking Options: fix
===Blocking Options===
*'''Block anonymous users only''': When This option changes the effect of a block when blocking an IP address. When it is enabled, this should almost always be checked, unless the block will only affect anonymous users editing from that IP in question is suspected of using address; registered accounts; if users editing from that's the case, then the block ''should IP address will not be for more than one (1) month'', as innocent IP's and users may end up being blockedaffected. The option has no effect on a block of a registered user.
*'''Prevent account creation''': This should only be unchecked if the block is for an unintentional, improper username (such as a name which is accidently too close to someone else's). Leaving this unchecked will allow the blocked user to create another account. ''For most vandals, always check this option.''
