Translations:Test Wiki:Blocks and bans/4/en

Bans are formal measures, which may have a block imposed to enforce them. Bans can be placed by any Steward, or by community consensus. 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 (most often by the community declining an unblock request) or explicit. They may have a set duration or be indefinite. If you see a block marked as a Steward action or as a community ban, it is advisable to not revert it without the consent of a Steward for Steward actions based on private evidence, or the consent of the community for Steward actions not based on private evidence (or Stewards in this case) or community bans.
