It would entirely depend on the wiki, user, and admin.

It can happen that sometimes an "innocent" user isn't so innocent; some people use 'sock-puppet' accounts to evade bans, or may have acted inappropriate on other wikis that the admin knows about (and preemptively wishes to avoid), and sometimes things may be going on behind-the-scenes of a wiki that regular users can't see or understand.

If it's a local wiki, as in it's not Community Central, then admins can block for any reason that like, so long as they themselves aren't breaking the Terms of Use. They can even block for no reason at all, even if it's seemingly petty to an outsider. It's all allowed.

If the wiki has a Wiki Manager, though, and you're concerned about particular behaviours of an admin blocking what seems unreasonably -? They'd be your first port of call.

Wiki Managers can be an invaluable resource.
