The {{para|appeal}} parameter specifies whether the blocking Oversighter has directed the block to be appealed publicly, on the talk page, or privately, to ArbCom:
*Using {{para|appeal|arbcom}} (default) makes the template say:
::"review the [[Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks|guide to appealing blocks]], and then email the Arbitration Committee at ''{{Nospam|arbcom-en|wikimedia.org}}''"
*Using {{para|appeal|public}} makes the template say:
::"review the [[Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks|guide to appealing blocks]], and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: <!-- copy the text from the 'view' window, not from here in the 'edit' window! -->{{tlx|1=unblock|2=reason{{=}}Your reason here <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>}}. Do not reiterate the information that has been suppressed in your block appeal; if you do, your talk page access may be revoked."
The template with all its parameters is: {{tlx|OversightBlock|sig {{=}} <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>|1 {{=}} Additional comments | appeal {{=}} public}}.
