How to configure default options on Special:Block

The reasons in the dropdown can be configured here : MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown

The options for block duration can be configured here : MediaWiki:Ipboptions

However I can't find documentation on how to configure the default selections for the "Block details" section.

Specifically the option to block the IP from creating user accounts.

On my wiki (afwiki) this option is enabled by default, and I don't think most users see this. I am trying to prevent the situation where someone bans an IP indefinitely AND prevents the IP from creating an account.

P.S. I was not logged in when I posted this question. Not sure how to change it so that it pings my account (User:Rooiratel) instead of the IP.

That is not configurable, it's hardcoded. Maybe you can use MediaWiki:block-summary message to add a reminder for that. The message is shown on the block special page everytime.

Okay thanks for letting me know. I'll see if I can log a request somewhere to make it configurable since that is a terrible default.
