The extension is intended to help wiki administrators to keep track of inactive users, send warning emails to such users and then automatically block their account if no action were taken in time.
It's possible to configure number of days since last login to be considered as inactivity, number of days since last login to actually block a user account and setup a schedule for warning messages to be sent prior to blocking.
This extension was created for WikiWorks.
