You forgot to consistently format the other timestamp field.

"infinity" isn't valid for timeanddate(), and you shouldn't be shoving
either of those through a wfTimestamp() conversion at that point since
it should have been done on initialization.

That wouldn't hurt, but I was referring to the lack of any information
about the block other than its presence.

That's probably bad, since there's now like four different places where
one might have to go to perform a block.
