MediaWiki talk:Blockedtext

Format

The table has to be in HTML markup, not wiki-markup. When displayed, the wiki-markup is not rendered. -- Creol(talk) 06:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Not done A. you should really explain why you think this change is needed. B. it makes it less simple if we interest this change. Either way (talk) 21:19, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

New text

Add some italic text that reads "You can still read pages, but you can't change or create pages anymore." SimpleWikiforyou123456 (talk) 14:29, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

"You are not blocked from reading pages, only from changing or creating them." - it is on the page already. Chenzw  Talk  14:32, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

What is this...

<!-- <td style="width:50px;"> [[Image:Stop x nuvola.svg|left|50px]]</td>-->

It's hidden in the message. Why is it hidden and not visible/removed? :/ Ezekiel53746 (talk) 01:47, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Revert the block text.

Can some one change the block text to revision by nonvocalscream (18:49 26 February 2010) ? 2600:1006:B11F:EFDD:D02:57EB:E4BB:9985 (talk) 10:21, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Sorry there is no reason to change the block text back to old out of date versions. Please stop socking here as its pretty obvious who you are. -DJSasso (talk) 12:02, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Edit Request

Please remove the line that states your IP address--there isn't much reason to list that. Computer Fizz (talk) 01:01, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

There is still some informative purpose in it–this page is also shown to blocked anonymous users. Not everyone knows their own IP address, and it may be useful for rangeblocks. Chenzw  Talk  02:14, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Edit request

{{editprotected}} The first sentence says "can not". The proper word is "cannot". 2600:1702:38D0:E70:E823:5D4D:A66:97F3 (talk) 22:50, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Both are acceptable spellings, and the current is arguably more simple. Vermont (talk) 18:35, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Improve Blocked text

To look like english wikipedia 63.143.237.91 (talk) 13:48, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Agree! Our message is very bland and dry. Their message is to the point and with some simplification, would look great. Thoughts? Griff (talk) 02:05, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Change request

I would like "can not" be changed to "cannot". EthanGaming7640 21:21, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Individual words are simpler than compound words which is why it is that way. -Djsasso (talk) 13:45, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Changes needed

{{Editprotected}}

This block text looks outdated and we have an actual template for this block notice: Template:Blocked text. With some changes, I think that this interface needs to have a massive overhaul. 167.205.23.115 (talk) 01:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

 Not done Per Template:Editprotected, edit requests are for changes that are uncontroversial and/or supported by consensus. There is no need to change the block text just because you think it may be outdated. Even if this change was supported by the community, an edit request should say how you want the template changed, preferably in a "change X to Y" format. --Ferien (talk) 18:56, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
