Although it's true that rangeblocks can block a lot of IPs, the likelyhood is that most of them won't be visitors to your wiki, so you shouldn't worry too much. The CheckUser extension find IP usage for the last 3 months, and 9 times out of 10 for ranges that I've looked into, there aren't any normal users using those IPs. So I wouldn't worry too much about it, especially if you're only blocking for a short time.
