Notice that you are now subject to a sanction
The following sanction has been imposed on you:
You are indefinitely banned from editing anything related to Main Page, broadly interpreted.|sanction=Sanction terms go here; for example:
You have been sanctioned |rationale= rationale or permalink to associated AN/I thread
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator as authorised by |topic= #code or link to community decision
You may appeal this sanction at the administrators' noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you.
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Gs/sanction}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
This template is a convenient, standardised method of notifying an editor that they have had community sanctions imposed on them. Only uninvolved administrators may sanction another editor under the terms of community-issued general sanctions, and sanctions should be given in accordance with the procedure at Wikipedia:General sanctions.
The template requires three parameters:
{{subst:Community sanction
| sanction = <description of sanction imposed on recipient of notice>
| rationale = <reason for this sanction>
| topic = Topic code (below)
}}
A blank copy of the template is below, so you do not have to delete the explanatory text from the above:
{{subst:Community sanction
|
|
|
}}
You don't have to declare the parameter names – only their values – but you can if you so wish (and may have to, if supplying tricky values):
{{subst:Community sanction
| sanction =
| rationale =
| topic =
}}
|
{{subst:Community sanction
| 1 =
| 2 =
| 3 =
}}
|
Remember you need to use this template in a "new message" on user talk pages; because no header is provided by this template, when you use it you will have to enter a subject man. The template must always be substituted. Your signature is automatically included.
