There is also a difference in who can issue those blocks and how they can be appealed. Local blocks can be issued by any admin of the particular wiki as well as global user groups such as FANDOM Staff and VSTF. They can be appealed by contacting the user that blocked you on a general-use site such as this one, Community Central. In most cases, contacting staff will not yield any results. GLobal blocks can be issued by only global user groups such as FANDOM Staff and VSTF. In order to appeal a global block, you must contact staff via Special:Contact/general.
