Template talk:Block

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I generally don't like this template - I think the whole "ruling of admins" thing is excessively officious. If you are going to use it, though, please sign and date the talk page as well. If the user comes back from the block to vandalize again, and I go to block him/her, it's confusing to see a big unspecific message saying that he/she is blocked.

[edit] The deletion of template

Has the proposed deletion of the template been cancelled? It's still alive five months later... --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I hope so, I find this more useful than "blocked" because you can enter a reason other than vandalism, and it gives instructions for requesting lifting the block. KillerChihuahua^?!? 11:41, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin unblock?

Is it possible that an admin unblocks him/herself (as the template says)? I've heard that it's not possible. Googl 19:45, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's always possible. Conscious 17:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Against -> By

I changed this word because the other way just sounded weird. The only use I could imagine it making sense in would be citing a specific policy, but even then it should have said "the policy", so I changed it to "by", as in, "you have violated wikipedia policy by... (blanking pages)" -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 22:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
