Usage edit

{{Anonblock hard|''optional comments''|sig=<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> (optional)}}

If there is an = character in the optional comments, place |1= before the first unnamed parameter, like this:

{{Anonblock hard|1=optional comments|sig=~~~~ (optional)}}

Important: Use |sig=~~~~ only if you wish to sign the default blocking notice when used on a talk page. Remember that signatures are not substituted in the block reason field.

Please do not subst: this template as contact details may change in the future. This template was designed especially for use as a block reason as readers frequently attempt to email us before they even read their IP address's talk page.

Administrators are encouraged to use this template as a blocking reason whenever they are blocking a shared IP. For blocks shorter than three months, it is recommended that you do not duplicate this notice on a blocked IP's talk page and instead use other user block templates to provide immediate notification to the vandal of the block.[clarification needed] As this template is rather large, it is preferable that we do not have it displayed multiple times on a single talk page.
