Sitewide blocked users are unable to [[Help:Editing/Your first edit|edit pages]], [[Help:Managing files|upload files]], [[Help:Moving a page|move pages]], and perform other actions that additional [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:User_rights|user rights]] would grant. Effectively, this makes the wiki read only for those users.
