So I just checked ARIN. 2602:300::/24 is AT&T 6RD, which I believe hands out addresses in /48 blocks. It's possible the person doesn't know how to use his entire /48, but, if he does, you actually need to block 2602:306:BDDE::/48
.
@Saftzie so it would be better to block an IPv6 vandal with /64 by default? Thus 2602:306:BDDE:1350:D20:16C:61E7:83AE
should become 2602:306:BDDE:1350::/64
automatically in an ideal world.
At least a /64. In the case above, it would need to be /48. Blocking an individual /128 is probably useless.
I had a quick glance through enwiki's block log and they seem to be blocking individual IPv6 addresses. However, I'm not sure how range blocks look as they're pretty rare for IPv4.
@Cqm I scrolled through it a little and they have been range blocking persistent vandals seen here. It looks like we should follow suit.
Wikipedia's admins aren't selected for their technical knowledge. I've posted there myself on the futility of blocking individual IPv6 addresses.
If it's a contest between who's less technically capable, an attacker or a defender, I don't think it's good to bet that the attacker is always going to be less capable, even if it's true some of the time.
As for how range blocks look in IPv4
Yeah, Wikia wiki admins aren't selected for their technical expertise, either. I'm not saying they necessarily should be, but they're all now going to get a crash course in frustration until they learn at least a little bit about IPv6.
As for the wiki under attack in the OP, it's still just the one range, so it's probably still just one guy.

I also have informed Candy Crush Saga Wiki Admins for that

Okay, so how can I block him for good on my wikia? I don't quite understand how these different addresses work.
