Blocking User

Don't Block the user if:

Blocking user who commit minor mistakes is not allowed.

The content of the wiki is important but the greatest important thing on the wiki is it's people. Without people there are no information/data, photo and image to be gathered. So it is best to not block the user because of a minor mistake. It is best to correct the mistake that had been made.

Common Minor Mistake:

• Typo Error
  • Solution: Correct the mispelled words.
• Grammar Error
  • Solution: Correct the grammar error.
• Wrong data/information
  • Solution: Correct any data/information that had been made.
• Wrong Categorization
  • Correct the categorization of the article/photo/templates/categories/videos. You might go to the message wall/talk page of the user who commit the mistakes and tell them the correct category of the page nicely and respectfully.

Uncommon minor mistakes:

• Sudden corrupting of a page.
  • Sometimes when clicking the publish button the page suddenly corrupts (Blank Page is the result) if that happens all you need to do is click the undo button and the page will be back to normal.

Correcting some minor mistakes is better than nothing. Over all, all you need to do is love the user who contribute on the wiki.

Block the user if he cause:

• Vandalism.
  • You might also read the community rules.
  • Minor Vandalize Page
