Line 76:

* The blocked user writing an appropriate [[WP:GAB|unblock request]]

* The block has been discussed on the [[WP:AN|Administrators' noticeboard]] or the [[WP:ANI|Administrators' noticeboard for incidents]] and you believe there is a consensus to unblock

* The user wantshas to takecompleted the [[WP:OFFER|standard offer]]

Administrators should not normally unblock users blocked in good faith by another administrator. If you plan on undoing another admin's block, ask them to consider unblocking ''first''. The blocking administrator may have further information and history (e.g.,: action taken at [[WP:ANI]] or [[WP:AE]]) that is not immediately visible on an unblock request. If that is not possible (e.g.,: if the blocking admin has since retired) and there is good reason to unblock, notify the original blocking admin and consider posting a note at [[WP:AN]] to let other administrators review your intended actions. This will prevent [[WP:WHEEL|wheel warring]] which would otherwise escalate into a dispute.
