Usage
editUnlike other block templates, there is no need to specify a signature as this template is automatically signed. Please remember to substitute this template.
All parameters are optional:
- x: Length of the block. (ind for indefinitely, otherwise length for temporarily) If x is not specified, assumes a temporary block without specifying a block end time.
- r: Reason for the block. (v for vandalism, b for page blanking, vp for vandalism to p, pa for personal attacks, s for spam, 3 for 3RR on p, sock for using sockpuppets abusively, o for other)
- o: Another reason for the block.
- p: Page block is based on.
The template can be implemented using either {{subst:Block-reason}} or {{subst:b-r}} Example uses:
{{subst:b-r|r=v|x=ind}}Indefinite block for vandalism{{subst:b-r|r=o|o=disruptive editing|x=31 hours|p=Target}}31 hour block for disruptive editing on "Target" article
