Partial blocks can prevent a user from:

* Editing specific pages or all pages within a specific namespace.

* Emailing other users or creating other accounts, while still being allowed to edit normally

To partially block a user, the following additional fields are used on the blocking form:

* To allow the user to continue to edit pages normally while blocking other actions:

*# Uncheck the '''Editing''' checkbox.

*# Check the other actions to block where appropriate.

* To prevent the user from editing specific pages or within a namespace:

*# Select the '''Partial''' radio button below the ''Editing'' checkbox.

*# Enter the specific pages in the '''Pages''' box.

*# Enter the specific namespaces in the '''Namespaces''' box.
