'''Partial blocks''' may be applied by [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] to prevent a user from editing some part(s) of Wikipedia, in contrast with a [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|sitewide block]]. Partial blocks may be applied to [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|user accounts]], [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Unregistered (IP or not logged in) users|IP addresses]] and ranges of IP addresses.
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
Partial blocks are used to prevent damage or [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruption to Wikipedia]], not to punish users (see {{section link|Wikipedia:Blocking policy|Purpose and goals}}). Any user may report disruption and ask administrators to consider blocking a disruptive account or IP address (see {{section link|Wikipedia:Blocking policy|Requesting blocks}}).
If editors believe a block has been improperly issued that affects them, they can request a review of that block by following the instructions at the [[Wikipedia:Partial blocks/Noticeboard]]. Alternatively, the affected editor may request an unblock following the procedures at {{section link|Wikipedia:Blocking policy|Unblocking}}, using the {{tl|unblock}} template, or appealing at the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]]. Administrators can unblock a user when they feel the block is unwarranted or no longer appropriate, in accordance with the blocking policy.▼
Partial blocking is separate from [[Wikipedia:Banning policy|banning]], which is a formal retraction of [[Wikipedia:User access levels|editing privileges]] on all or part of Wikipedia. Like sitewide blocks, partial blocks may be used to enforce a ban.

=== Placing blocks ===
Consider placing a template such as {{tlx|Uw-pblock}} on the talk pages of the users you block. You can use an automated tool such as [[WP:TW|Twinkle]] to automate the process of partially-blocking users as well as templating them.
=== Technical considerations ===
