Details
Prescribes whether MediaWiki should log the IP addresses of its editors in recentchanges.rc_ip.
Although there is no interface in the standard MediaWiki package for retrieving this information, it can be accessed using extensions; a database administrator can also run an SQL query to retrieve the IP addresses.
Current versions of the CheckUser extension do not rely on this setting.
CheckUser stores its data in a separate cu_changes table.
Autoblock use it to automatically block the more recent IP used by a user who is blocked.
