What happens?:
API response (which contains more details than the in-browser notice):
{"error":{"code":"blocked","info":"Your username or IP address has been blocked. The block was made by [[User:ST47ProxyBot|\u202aST47ProxyBot\u202c]].

My IP is NOT 10.80.1.11 despite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Get_my_IP_address?withJS=MediaWiki:Get-my-ip.js claiming this. Whatismyip.com confirms what my router says, my IP starts with 84.
What should have happened instead?:
I shouldn't be blocked!
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
I have no idea what http://62.201.223.171:8186 is (according to geoip.com it's in Iraq?)
