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 (but the consent of Stewards will have no problems in this case) or community bans.
