A global block is where a user is blocked across the FANDOM network, even if that user has admin rights on the wiki. They cannot edit anything because they are blocked from editing not just on one wiki, but all FANDOM Community. Global block are for privacy, which means only the blocked user and the VSTF and the Staff can view the block status. Usually, a Staff or VSTF will global block a user if a user is vandalizing or spamming on multiple wikis.

A local block is where a user cannot edit on the wikis they are blocked on. A local block is usually set by admins and bureaucrats, but sometimes VSTF, if they found spam or vandalism where admins are not active in the wiki.

These following user rights can local block people:


 * Administrators


 * Bureaucrats


 * STAFF


 * Helpers


 * VSTF


 * Global Discussions Moderator
