When an admin blocks a user, they are allowed to freely select how much time to block the user for. This can range from as short as 1 minute to as long as forever. - Edit:

If your block is a local block (i.e. just on one wiki), then your account won't get deleted and you can still edit on other wikis on which you are not blocked. If your block is a global block, then you will not be able to edit on any wikis. However, your account will still not be deleted. Your account may be deleted for violating the global Terms of Use. Some common ways (just to list a few) people violate the ToU are: sockpupetting to bypass a block, impersonating another user, posting inappropriate content (such as but not limited to hate speech or pornography), repeatedly harassing other users, asking other users for personal information (such as but not limited to emails, birthdays, phone numbers, addresses). It is also a violation of the ToU if the user does not meet the required minimum age. The required minimum age is 16 for countries belonging to the European Economic Area (except the United Kingdom) and for the US State of California. The required minimum page for everyone else (including the United Kingdom) is 13.
