##If the user should be blocked based on his actions on the wiki, carefully consider how long the user should be blocked. If the user is a blatant vandal, generally 5 year, or "infinite", blocks are handed out. If the user is merely edit warring or some similar offense, perhaps a shorter block (2 days, a few weeks, months?) might be more appropriate. Keep in mind that users can change - infinite blocks are therefore discouraged.

#If you have run checkuser (which you should generally only do with probable cause) and determined the user has created sock-puppet accounts, the user should be blocked. Be wary that multiple distinct users might just be editing from a public location - for example a school, a coffee house or a library.

#Furthermore, users with blocking rights must be very careful in the issuance of a block. Unwarranted blocks that may be undone clog the block log, and future Administrators may unfairly consider an established user as a troublemaker, when the real problem lies with an unjustifiable block made by an Administrator. When a blocking error occurs, it's best for everyone involved for the blocking editor to undo the action so as to limit confusion. However, this is not always possible.

Unwarranted blocks that may be undone clog the block log, and future Administrators may unfairly consider an established user as a troublemaker, when the real problem lies with an unjustifiable block made by an Administrator. When a blocking error occurs, it's best for everyone involved for the original blocking editor to undo the action so as to limit confusion. However, this is not always possible.
