#Directly under the title you should see "{{mono|talk{{!}}block{{!}}block log{{!}}uploads}}" among other links – click on '''''block'''''. This will bring you to ThisIsaTest's blocking form. (see diagram on the right)
#Scroll to the bottom of the blocking form page, you will see the blocking form that is to be filled in. The username of the user to be blocked should already be there.
#Click on the '''Expiry:''' drop down menu – as ThisIsaTest is a vandalism-only account, select '''indefinite'''. ( {{red|'''''A'''''}}
#*directly underneath this drop down menu ( {{red|'''''B'''''}} ), you can specify your own length of block. You can type in just about anything here e.g. 1 week, 2 months, 71 hours etc., or enter a specific end date (useful if modifying an existing block) – use either the drop down menu, or type your own length in, '''not both.'''
#Click on the '''Reason:''' drop down menu ( {{red|'''''C'''''}} ) – select '''Vandalism only account''' (you may use the other reasons in different situations as well as enter a custom reason in the '''''D''''' field).
