Considering that you are still able to edit with your account, you were unfortunately caught in the block placed on an IP address. This means that someone misused the IP to disrupt the Wikia network and was blocked for it. Others users who then happen to use that same IP address will suffer the same consequences in the sense that they can't edit as long as they're using that IP address.

Depending on the reason and the amount of time the IP has already been blocked, it can sometimes be lifted if you, as Joseph already noted, approach a VSTF and/or Staff Member with the block ID information. If you don't have that, it can also help to provide those people with a link to the wiki on which you encountered the block, as we have tools with which we can see which blocks are effecting which users on that particular wiki.

In any case, we apologize for the inconvenience you're encountering because of this. It's sadly a necessary risk we need to take in order to prevent spam/vandalism/ToU breaches from harming Wikia :-/
