Why?
To explain why I block people, it's important to debunk one of the most common misconceptions that people have about blocks.

A block is not a punishment. This is by far the thing that most people cite when they say that they're blocked. A block is not a punishment, even if you're vandalizing the wiki. It's a way to give you a "tap on the shoulder" and say, "Please don't do this sort of thing again". That's exactly why people who edit war are given a 24 hour block and not a permanent one.
