I have no idea what prompted me to write all that rubbish. The template does in fact say 'one or more'. [[User:Cathfolant|Cathfolant]] ([[User talk:Cathfolant|talk]]) 01:50, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

'''Only administrators should be using this template.''' This template is for letting blocked users know that they have been blocked, why they have been blocked, and the length of their block.
 
If you are going to use this template, be sure you fill all fields shown in bold below:<br>
<code><nowiki>{{Subst:BlockNotice|</nowiki>'''Policy violation'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>'''Length of block'''<nowiki>}}~~~~</nowiki></code>
 
'''EXAMPLE:'''<br>
{{BlockNotice|Vandalism|1 week}}[[User:Administrator|Administrator]] 00:00 January 1, 2011
 
'''CODE USED:'''
<code><nowiki>{{Subst:BlockNotice|Vandalism|1 week}}[[User:Administrator|Administrator]] 00:00 January 1, 2011</nowiki></code>

Here's the final look it should look like:
 
=== Block Notice ===
<div name="Deletion notice" class="boilerplate metadata" id="delete" style="background-color:#fee; margin:1em; padding:0 10px; border:1px solid #aaa;">
[[File:Stop_x_nuvola.svg|75px|right|alt=|link=]] Hello. Due to your recent actions, you have been blocked by an administrator. In other words, blocked means you cannot edit or create pages, or upload images. The reason for this block is shown below:<br>
:''{{{1|[[Wikipedia:Policy|Policy]] violation. No specific reason has been provided.}}}''<br>
This block will last for:<br>
:'''''{{{2|No block length provided.}}}''<br>
During this block, you will not be able to edit any page or upload any images on Wikipedia. Once the block is over, you will be able to resume to editing and your normal abilities. Please be careful in the future and review the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Policy|Policy]].<br><br>If you feel this block was unfair or unjust, you may post a message below this one saying why you feel this block was unfair and an administrator will review it.<br></div>

:{{not done}}. Please open a broader discussion such an [[WP:RFC]] if you want to make this change, which is not nearly as minor as you seem to think. At the very least you should provide some hint of a reason why this would be desirable. [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 22:26, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 
::Also, "In other words" reads confusingly and is a superfluous phrase. Words other than what? If the change were to proceed, I would suggest a rewording to: "Being blocked means you cannot edit or create pages,..."
