{{hatnote|{{red|'''Do NOT test this feature'''}}. The information below is purely for reference. More information at [[WP:RANGE]]}}
Sometimes disruption persists from a small range of IPs, where blocking each individually is ineffective. In such cases it may be feasible to perform a [[mw:Help:Range blocks|range block]]. This however this should be '''avoided at all times''', as this '''will''' cause collateral damage. It is suggested you discuss range blocks before making them, and if you aren't familiar with [[Classless Inter-Domain Routing|CIDR]] ranges, you shouldn't be making them.
