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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject User warnings|user warnings project]].

Please refer to the [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace|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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] can block users''; adding a block template does not constitute a block. See [[Wikipedia:Requests for administrator attention|RFAA]] to request that a user be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]].

== Usage ==
Please remember to [[Help:Substitution|substitute]] the template by using <code><nowiki>{{subst:</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}}}</code> rather than <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}}}</code>. (Although this template '''must be substituted''' in the user talk page, it has also been designed to display properly when substitution is not possible.) {{#ifeq:{{{temp or indef|yes}}}|yes|<p>For a temporary block, indicate the time of the block in this manner: <code><nowiki>{{subst:</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}{{!}}time=''Duration''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>, or the default text displayed will be "temporarily [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]]". To indicate an indefinite block, use the syntax <code><nowiki>{{subst:</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}{{!}}indef=yes<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. </p>}}{{{extra usage before|}}}

To give greater detail to your message, you may specify: the block duration, a specific reason for the block, and auto-include your signature.

:<code><nowiki>{{subst:</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}{{#ifeq:{{{allow anon|yes}}}|yes|{{!}}'''anon'''=yes}}{{!}}<span style="color:#c00;">'''time'''</span>=''Duration''{{!}}<span style="color:#c00;">'''reason'''</span>=''For a different reason''{{#ifeq:{{{allow notalk|yes}}}|yes|{{!}}'''notalk'''=yes}}{{!}}<span style="color:#c00;">'''page'''</span>=''Targeted page''{{!}}'''sig'''=yes{{{extra params|}}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

== Notes ==
* If you do not set a block expiry, replace <code>time=''Duration''</code> with <code>indef=yes</code>.
* An already '''indefinite''' block template does not require the <code>time</code> or <code>indef</code> parameters. {{#ifeq:{{{allow anon|yes}}}|yes|
* If not blocking an anonymous user, omit the <code>anon</code> parameter.}}
* Include the <code>page</code> parameter to refer to a page on which the conduct supporting the block occurred.{{#ifeq:{{{allow notalk|yes}}}|yes|
* The <code>notalk</code> parameter should '''always be omitted''' unless the user cannot edit their own talk page.}}
* The optional <code>for</code> parameter can be used if the word "for" before the block reason doesn't grammatically work. For example, if <code>for=per</code> 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".
