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. Line 24 ⟶ 21: == Blocking == === 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. *''notes on features'' === Technical considerations === Line 35 ⟶ 32: Active partial blocks may be viewed at {{Plain link\|url={{fullurl:Special:BlockList\|blockType=partial}} Special:BlockList}}. == ~~Requests for review~~Unblocking == ▲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]].
