 | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Uw-pblock}}). 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-pblock}} rather than {{Uw-pblock}}. (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-pblock|time=Duration}}, or the default text displayed will be "temporarily blocked". To indicate an indefinite block, use the syntax {{subst:Uw-pblock|indef=yes}} (alternatively, you can use {{subst:Uw-pblockindef}}, which is a wrapper for this template).
To give greater detail to your message, you may specify: the block duration, a specific reason for the block, and auto-include your signature.
{{subst:Uw-pblock|anon=yes|time=Duration|reason=For a different reason|notalk=yes|noanb=yes|area=area|sig=yes}}
Parameters
- accountcreate=yes
- anon=yes
- area
- demospace
- email=yes
- extra
- for
- guidance
- hiddentext
- indef=yes
- legal=yes
- notalk=yes
- reason
- sig=yes
- time
Notes
- If you do not set a block expiry, replace time=Duration with indef=yes.
- An already indefinite block template does not require the time or indef 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, if for=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".
