They *can*, sometimes will. Admins can even issue a small range block. However, care needs to be exercised when it comes to Ranges IP Blocks because it can mean innocents can be blocked. Even inherit a block initially meant to curtail a different individual. This has happened to me with a non-wikia site, so I'm especially sensitive to this action.

Special:Contact them to see if your situation applies.

Understand that a dedicated and motivated enough Troll will *find* a way to circumvent a block if they truly wish to. So the most expedient blocking method really boils down to "Whack-a-Troll". It's easy; it's surgical; and shows them there are active sheriffs in town…
