Template:UsernameBlocked/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:UsernameBlocked.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

Please refer to the index of test 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. Go to WP:AN to request that a user be blocked.

Please remember to substitute the template by using {{subst:UsernameBlocked/doc}} rather than {{UsernameBlocked/doc}}.

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 uses a parser function. To give greater detail to your message, you may give a specific reason for the block, and auto-include your signature.

{{subst:UsernameBlocked/doc|reason=For a different reason|sig=yes}}

This is an indefinite block template, so it does not require any time or indef parameters.

Other templates

{{UsernameHardBlocked}} for blatant username violations or spamming with a promotional username
