--- Comment #19 from Marcin Cieślak <marcin.cies...@gmail.com> ---
One thing is the template issue which can be rectified locally but I guess the
core of the problem is the [[MediaWiki:Autoblocker]] (block message) that gets
populated to the templates together with the IP address. 

I would like to point out that this information is also available in
[[Special:BlockList]] - note that Autoblocker gives only the username, but no
IP address (only block number).

If I understand correctly, the core of this problem is that both $3 and a $2
(possibly containing some user name) are made available to the MediaWiki
message.

In the context of autoblocks we usually give out only block number ($5) and
that should be enough for the administrators to handle the case.

So, one way to fix it is to stop giving $3 of [[MediaWiki:Autoblocktext]]
together with $5 and $2 ($2 and $5 should be fine).

Probably for the sake of migration we should depreciate Autoblocktext and
introduce a new message without $3, but I think i18n guys are best qualified to
judge this.
