To enforce community-authorised general sanctions, you have been temporarily blocked from editing. You are welcome to make useful contributions once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text at the bottom of this page: ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)). However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Reminder to administrators: Community sanctions are enacted by community consensus. In order to overturn this block, you must either receive the approval of the blocking administrator or consensus at a community noticeboard (you may need to copy and paste their statement to a community noticeboard).

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should always be substituted (i.e., use ((subst:Uw-csblock))). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot.

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 ((subst:Uw-csblock)) rather than ((Uw-csblock)). (Although this template must be substituted in the user talk page, it has also been designed to display properly when substitution is not possible.)

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

((subst:Uw-csblock|anon=yes|reason=For a different reason|notalk=yes|page=Targeted page|sig=yes|log=Sanctions information page))

Notes

If not blocking an anonymous user, omit the anon parameter.
Include the page parameter to refer to a page on which the conduct supporting the block occurred.
The notalk parameter should always be omitted unless the user cannot edit their own talk page.
The optional for parameter can be used if the word "for" before the block reason doesn't grammatically work. For example, if for=per 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".

Module:Sanctions (sandbox)

This section transcluded from: Template:Gs/topics/single notice [edit] [GS template subpages]

Alerting

((Gs/alert)), to alert an editor to active sanctions
((Gs/talk notice)), for announcing GS in a talk page messagebox
((Gs/editnotice)), for topics, or individual pages, where additional restrictions apply
EditFilter 602, which automates the logging of alerts
Log of recent alerts

Enforcement

((Gs/sanction)), for telling a user they have been sanctioned
((Uw-csblock)), for notifying users of community sanctions blocks
((Gs/topics)) & ((Gs/topics/table)), the lists of topics currently under community sanctions
Discretionary sanctions enforcement templates, the category for all standardised enforcement-related GS templates
Various GS templates
((Ds/log)), to display links for searching whether a user has ever been alerted; use like/alongside ((user)).

Whenever community sanctions are (de)authorised for a topic, update Module:Sanctions/data.
