Template:Uw-vblock
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".
