|appealinfo=== What does this mean? ==
As on many websites, Wikipedia administrators occasionally [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|block]] accounts and IP ranges that are deemed responsible for or related to problematic activity. You may be an innocent victim of [[collateral damage]], whereby a block of some other activity has accidentally caused your account to be unable to edit pages. If your editing access has been blocked by mistake, it will be reactivated very quickly, as soon as you let an administrator know of the problem. The box above gives the information you will need.

;What is a block?

:A [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|block]] is a measure used to protect Wikipedia from possible improper use, or modification in breach of [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|editorial policies]]. Once a block has expired, they become history unless problems reoccur. Blocks can be applied to a user account, an IP address, or a [[Subnetwork|range of IP addresses]]. [[Wikipedia:Autoblock|A number of automated features]] identify unblocked usage which apparently should be blocked; these are known as ''autoblocks'' and can be quickly rectified if incorrect.

;Most common causes of an autoblock:

:The typical cause of an autoblock is because your IP address or network is either the same one used by another blocked account, or [[Wikipedia:Autoblock|the software believes]] your account or IP address is connected to ''another'' blocked account. Due to the nature of some [[Internet service provider]]s, automatic blocks may inadvertently affect people other than the person who the block was intended for.
== Rectifying an autoblock ==
=== Unblock request ===
If you are unjustly affected by this block, please copy the following text and paste it to the '''bottom''' of [[Special:Mytalk|your user talk page]]:

<blockquote><div>
<code>{{unblock-auto|2=&lt;nowiki>$2&lt;/nowiki>|3=$1|4=$5}}</code>
</div></blockquote>

Once you have followed the instructions above, an administrator will be alerted to your unblock request, and will respond shortly in order to review the block.

If this is a problem that affects you ''repeatedly'', we encourage you to contact your [[Internet service provider]] or IT department, and ask them to contact [[Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia's]] [[meta:XFF project|XFF project]] about enabling [[X-Forwarded-For]] HTTP headers on their [[proxy server]]s. This will reduce the chances of you being affected by future automatic blocks.

=== Alternative option ===
You will usually receive a faster response by posting the <code>{{unblock-auto|2=&lt;nowiki>$2&lt;/nowiki>|3=$1|4=$5}}</code> template onto your user talk page, as described in the instructions above. If you need help, however, you can submit a request to the [[WP:UTRS|Unblock Ticket Request System]] by clicking on "submit an unblock requuest" below. Make sure to include the block ID number shown in the box above.

Even though requests sent to the Unblock Ticket Request System are viewable only by [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] and trusted volunteers, under '''no circumstances''' should you send anyone your account's password, or reveal it to anyone else - ''even if you're asked to do so''.

This system exists for the purpose of reviewing blocks only—any request to make edits to articles on your behalf will be disregarded.
