If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you're welcome to ask for a second opinion by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. If I can help you with anything, please log in to your new account and ask on my talk page. Thanks for your understanding.
This template should not be used on user talk pages of accounts with (account creation blocked) status. Only use this template on user talk pages of accounts with (autoblock disabled) status.
Template documentation | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Uw-softestblock}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
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
Please remember to substitute the template by using{{subst:Uw-softestblock}} rather than {{Uw-softestblock}}. (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-softestblock|time=Duration}}, or the default text displayed will be "temporarily blocked". To indicate an indefinite block, use the syntax {{subst:Uw-softestblock|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-softestblock|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=Durationwithindef=yes. - An already indefinite block template does not require the
timeorindefparameters. - If not blocking an anonymous user, omit the
anonparameter. - Include the
pageparameter to refer to a page on which the conduct supporting the block occurred. - The
notalkparameter should always be omitted unless the user cannot edit their own talk page. - The optional
forparameter can be used if the word "for" before the block reason doesn't grammatically work. For example, iffor=peris 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".
