Template:Uw-pblock/doc

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 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:, or the default text displayed will be "temporarily blocked". To indicate an indefinite block, use the syntax.

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