Or, if exercising an iron determination not to hit the edit button to
right a wrong, then it can be a red link that renews the block. I
quote from a page laughably titled "User is blocked - edit this page":
"You are not blocked from reading pages, only from editing them. If
you were only intending to read a page and are seeing this message,
you probably followed a red link. These are links to pages that do not
exist, so they take users to an editing screen. You should have no
problem if you follow only blue links."
