Template:Rangeblock/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Rangeblock.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage[change source]

{{Rangeblock|COMMENTS (optional)|sig=~~~~ (optional)}}

If there is an = character in the optional comments, you have to quote the first parameter, like this:

{{Rangeblock|1=OPTIONAL COMMENTS|sig=~~~~ (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.

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. For further help, leave a message at "Wikipedia:Simple talk".
