Translations:Test Wiki:Blocks and bans/7/en
Bans are formal measures, which may have a block imposed to enforce them. Bans can be placed by any Steward. While the community has no capacity in policy to impose or mandate a block or ban, Stewards may take into consideration any feedback it provides with respect to things such as block or ban duration, conditions for unblock or ban, or other procedural measures of such a block or ban. Bans can either be partial, such as restricting someone from a certain namespace, or they can be sitewide, prohibiting all editing by a particular user. Bans may be implied or explicit. They may have a set duration or be indefinite. You may face repercussions for reverting a block clearly marked as being part of a ban/sanction without the consent of a Steward, or for reverting a block marked as a Steward action based entirely on public evidence without the consent of a Steward.
