Blocking a user is accomplished by filling out the [[Special:Blockip|blocking form]]. For the purposes of this guide we will use this form provided by the MediaWiki software. However, in practice you may more often use semi-automated tools for blocking such as [[WP:TW|Twinkle]], which can make the process considerably easier, and add an appropriate message to the user's talk page that explains why they have been blocked, and how to appeal.
The blocking form can seem complicated at first with all of its checkboxes and options; however, once you understand what these options do, it is easy to determine which are needed and which aren't. Below is a step by step guide on how to make blocks to different groups of users. Follow the instructions through and then '''block''' the users as the guide says.
