Rules
Applicable reasons for a user to be blocked from editing on this Wiki:
- Vandalism - Repeatedly editing a page with malicious intent.
- Use of Foul language - Repeated use of language that is considered vulgar or foul
- Starting an editing war - Attempting to or starting a fight in which users fight over the correct revision may result in a block being issued by the Local Admins.
- Intentionally creating links to malicious websites - Any user caught intentionally linking other users to malware, or phishing pages will receive a block, which may be issued immediately.
- Purposefully inserting false information (or 'fake news') into articles.
- Repeatedly ignoring instructions from Local Admins or Moderators.
- Harassing other users.
- Do not engage in excessive self-promotion: The Wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand.

Warnings
You will be given two formal warnings before a block will be put in place.
The first formal warning will be given on your talk page by a Local Admin or Moderator, if you chose to ignore this and continue to break the rules, you will be given a second warning - That is your final warning. After the 2 warnings have been issued you will receive a block from a Local Admin.
N.B. - An immediate block may be given if the infraction is severe enough. The decision to do this will be made at the Local Administrator's discretion.
Escalating blocks
If, after your block has expired, you continue to break the rules, a longer block will be implemented.
For example:
1st Time - 1 Week
2nd Time - 2 Weeks
3rd Time - 1 Month
4th Time - 1 Year
The above is only a guide and the decision ultimately rests with the Local Administrator.
Unregistered Users
If an unregistered user breaks any of the rules listed above they may be subject to an immediate block.
Unregistered users will be blocked by their IP address. If you think that you have been unduly blocked, please see below for the procedure to lift a block.
Attempting to bypass the block
Any user caught attempting to bypass their block by using a VPN or similar tools will receive an immediate block of similar length to their original block.
Requesting a block to be lifted
If you believe that a block was improperly put in place by a Local Admin, please contact EditorUK, with a reason why your block should be lifted.
Review
