Blocks placed to prevent disruption are placed by one of two groups: [[Test Wiki: Bureaucrats|Bureaucrats]] or [[Test Wiki:Stewards|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 [[Test Wiki:Administrators|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. | Blocks placed to prevent disruption are placed by one of two groups: [[Test Wiki: Bureaucrats|Bureaucrats]] or [[Test Wiki:Stewards|Stewards]].

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. | Bans are formal measures, which may have a block imposed to enforce them. Bans can be placed by any Steward, or by community consensus.
