If worse comes to worse, and you can't figure out how to undo their IP block, then you'll need to talk to the person by email or via another wiki, like [[w:c:community]], so as to get their "block error code" — a four digit code that appears on a little message that pops up when they try to edit.  You would then add that code to the end of this url, where the {{tt|3630}} now appears:

For convenience, this is what our "you're blocked" message looks like:
<div class=warn4>
<div id=wh style="margin-left:25px;text-align:left">I'm sorry.  I'm so sorry. You're blocked.</div>
<div id=mn style="color:white;margin-left:50px;font-size:80%;width:600px">

What you want is the number in gold at variable $5.
