However, note that warnings are not a prerequisite for blocking. Administrators should generally ensure that users who are acting in good faith are aware of policies and are given reasonable opportunity to adjust their behavior before blocking. On the other hand, users acting in bad faith, whose main or only use is forbidden activity ([[WP:SOCK|sockpuppetry]], [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]], and so on), do not require any warning and may be blocked immediately.

 

Technical instructions on how to block and unblock, and information on the blocking interface, is available at [[m:Help:Block and unblock]]. The following is advice specifically related to blocking and unblocking on Wikipedia.

In addition to the advice below, there are special considerations to take into account when blocking IP addresses. IP address blocks can affect many users, and IPs can change. Users intending to block an IP address should at a minimum check for usage of that address, and consider duration carefully. IP addresses should rarely, if ever, be blocked indefinitely.
