Template:Bot block message/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bot block message. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Bot block message}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
Usage
[edit]By itself, this template isn't very helpful because operators need to know what their bots are doing wrongly. Rather than using this template by itself, please use it in conjunction with a message (preferably accompanied by diffs of the bot's edits) explaining what is going wrong.
Technical details
[edit]Place
{{subst:Bot block message|[[User:ExampleBot]]}}
on a user's talk page to use the template. If you don't want to specify a bot, just omit the value for the parameter, like
{{subst:Bot block message}}
For operators who are administrators and allowed to unblock their bots themselves, add a admin=y parameter.
{{subst:Bot block message|[[User:ExampleBot]]|admin=y}}
or
{{subst:Bot block message|admin=y}}
