[[User:192.0.2.16]] has been causing massive disruption today and has received warnings from {{tl|uw-vandalism1}} to {{tl|uw-vandalism4}}, yet she still continues her rampage. The IP needs to be blocked to stop any further disruption.
#Click on 192.0.2.16's [[Special:Contributions/192.0.2.16|contributions]].
#Directly underneath the title you should see "{{mono|talk{{!}}block{{!}}block log{{!}}uploads}}" among other links – click on '''''block'''''. This will bring you to 192.0.2.16's blocking form. [[Image:SensitiveIP-NAS.PNG|right|thumb|400px |If you block ''any'' IP in the ranges listed under "[[Template:Sensitive IP addresses|Sensitive IP addresses]]", you ''must'' notify the [[m:Communications_committee|Wikimedia Foundation Communications Committee]] immediately (see contact instructions there or use the [[m:Communications_committee/Notifications|notifications page]]).]]
#Scroll to the bottom of the page, you will see the blocking form that is to be filled in. The IP of the user to be blocked should already be there.
#Click on the '''Expiry:''' drop down menu – as 192.0.2.16 has received no previous blocks, select a short amount of time: '''31 hours'''.
