Template:Uw-sockblock
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. 
Template documentation | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Uw-sockblock}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes 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
Please remember to substitute the template by using{{subst:Uw-sockblock}} rather than {{Uw-sockblock}}. (Although this template must be substituted in the user talk page, it has also been designed to display properly when substitution is not possible.) This template has three additional parameters which can be used to specify the relevant master, SPI and evidence as applicable:
- The
masterparameter can be used to specify the username of the master account (if applicable). - The
spiparameter can be used to specify the name of the relevant SPI report if applicable. - The
evidenceparameter can be used to include evidence outside of an SPI, or additional to an SPI. It adds content as a new sentence following the first one. That is, directly after "abusing multiple accounts" in the default version.
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-sockblock|anon=yes|reason=For a different reason|notalk=yes|page=Targeted page|sig=yes|note extra parameters above}}
Notes
- 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".
