Details

cleanupBlocks.php is a maintenance script that performs various tasks to fix data integrity with the block and block_target tables.

This script includes the following tasks:

1. Delete any block_target rows that have no corresponding blocks
2. Delete blocks which have a bl_target pointing to a non-existent bt_id
3. Fix IP address normalization issues
4. Merge block_target rows referring to the same user, IP address or range
5. Find and fix incorrect bt_count values

The script cleans up user blocks with usernames that do not match the user table. This works in two steps:

1. Clean up duplicate user blocks.
2. Update mismatched usernames.
