. This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Uw-vblock}} ). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
Breaking changes to this template, such as moving it or nominating it for deletion, should be communicated to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. Thank you. |
This template is used to notify a user that they have been blocked. It informs them of the reason for their block and describes the steps they can take if they wish to continue editing. It has been carefully designed based on guidelines by the user warnings project.
Please refer to the index of message templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
Note: Only administrators can block users; adding a block template does not constitute a block. See RFAA to request that a user be blocked.
Usage
{{subst:Uw-vblock}}
rather than {{Uw-vblock}}
. (Although this template must be substituted in the user talk page, it has also been designed to display properly when substitution is not possible.) For a temporary block, indicate the time of the block in this manner: {{subst:Uw-vblock|time=Duration}}
, or the default text displayed will be "temporarily blocked". To indicate an indefinite block, use the syntax {{subst:Uw-vblock|indef=yes}}
.
To give greater detail to your message, you may specify: the block duration, a specific reason for the block, and to auto-include your signature.
{{subst:Uw-vblock|anon=yes|time=Duration|reason=For a different reason|notalk=yes|page=Targeted page|sig=yes}}
Notes
- If you do not set a block expiry, replace
time=Duration
withindef=yes
. - An already indefinite block template does not require the
time
orindef
parameters. - If not blocking an anonymous user, omit the
anon
parameter. - Include the
page
parameter to refer to a page on which the conduct supporting the block occurred. - The
notalk
parameter should always be omitted unless the user cannot edit their own talk page. - The optional
for
parameter can be used if the word "for" before the block reason doesn't grammatically work. For example, iffor=per
is written, the block notice will say "blocked from editing per". Don't use this parameter if you don't want to change the word "for".
