Translations:Test Wiki:Blocks and bans/2/en

Blocks are technical measures, and they are placed either to prevent disruption, or for testing. Blocks placed to prevent disruption are placed by one of two groups: Bureaucrats or Stewards. They are most often placed due to disruptive editing such as, but not limited to, vandalism or spamming. Blocks can be made for testing purposes by any Administrator, and are most often placed on an alternate account or another person. Blocks placed on another person for testing most often last up to two hours.
