Template:Colocationwebhost
 |
| You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider.
Since the web host acts like a proxy, because it hides your IP address, it has been blocked. To prevent abuse, these IPs may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you do not believe you are using a web host and think this block is unfair, you can ask to be unblocked by adding {{Unblock|your reason here}} to your user talk page. If you cannot do this or the reason is private please send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply. You may want to read our guide to unblock requests before asking to be unblocked. |
Usage[change source]
{{Anonblock|host=HOSTNAME (optional)}}
Important: Only use sig=~~~~ if you wish to sign the default blocking notice when used on a talk page. Remember that signatures are not substituted in the block reason field.
Recommendations: Do not substitute ("subst:") this template as contact details may change in the future. This template was designed especially for use as a block reason as readers frequently attempt to email us before they even read their IP address's talk page.
You are encouraged to use this template as a blocking reason whenever you are blocking a shared IP. For blocks shorter than three months, it is recommended that you do not duplicate this notice on a blocked IP's talk page. Instead, use other user block templates to provide immediate notification to the vandal of the block. As this template is rather large, it is preferable that we do not have it displayed multiple times simultaneously for each talk page.
Asking to be unblocked[change source]
If you are currently blocked from editing Wikipedia and think this block is unfair, you may ask to be unblocked by adding "{{unblock|your reason here}}" to your talk page. An administrator will look into the matter.
