Blocked users can continue to access Wikipedia, but cannot edit any page they are blocked from (including, if appropriate, their own user pages). In most cases, a site-wide blocked user will only be able to edit their own user talk page. Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, not to punish users (see § Purpose and goals).
It prevents users from editing, renaming, creating, or otherwise contributing to pages on Wikipedia, either across Wikipedia or on certain pages. Blocks can apply to a user account, an IP address, or a range of IP addresses that is deemed responsible for or related to problematic activity. The reason for your block may be found in your block log.
If a username or userpage can cause harm to someone, delete it. A users phone number, address, real name, age, or other personal information in a username or on another users page without the users permission can endanger that user. This does not just include information of Administrators, although they are a common target for this sort of attack.
A block is the method by which administrators prevent users from editing Wikipedia. ... See Wikipedia:Appealing a block and Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks.
