Blocking or banning is a method used by which staff members technically prevent users from editing Yo-kai Watch Encyclopedia. Blocks can happen to contributors, to IP addresses, and to ranges of IP addresses, for either a definite or an indefinite time. Blocked users still have the access to Yo-kai Watch Encyclopedia, but they cannot edit any article pages which includes their own user pages or their talk pages.
Contributors that are banned from editing on the wiki will most likely disagree on that and will start to rebel against a staff member to invoke their ban or they will create a sockpuppet account to contribute or vandalize articles further. However, whatever reason there is, there is not a possible way to invoke a ban that you've received.
Request for blocking
If there is a contributor that does not follow the policy, the contributor can issue a request to a staff member to have the contributor banned from the wiki. However, a staff member cannot ban a user because they simply don't like them or they have something done wrong in the Discord server or any other social media platform. Notify the staff with a message on their talk page and explain your reason why you believe that a contributor should be banned. Due time the staff member will report which will result either a instant ban or they will give warnings to the contributor.

One other rule is unfortunate. Any images or other content taken from Yo-kai Watch World will receive a warning. This is due that Yo-kai Watch World is known for harassing platforms that are using their images or content even if the images are public domain. This is unfortunate because the contributor in fact has no control about the issue and Yo-kai Watch World is the one to blame for their actions of harassment and illegally claiming images that are rightfully of Level-5 and Nintendo. The images or content can be used if we credit them, however, the site is not credit worthy.
