When blocking a user, this template can be used by Administrators to meet the requirements in the Code of Conduct to provide information about the reason for, and duration of, a block when. The Administrator should place it in a message on the blocked user's message wall.
Use of this template by non-Admins may be construed as an attempt to impersonate an Administrator. Impersonating another user is a violation of Wikia's Terms of Use, and thus a Severe Rules violation per the 异度神剑 Wiki Code of Conduct. Severe rules violations can result in an immediate block of up to 3 months.
Usage
This template has two parameters:
duration
indicates how long the block will last. The parameter is placed in a sentence, so it should list a duration (1 day, 1 month, etc.) instead of a date (January 1, 2019).reason
is the reason the user was blocked.
Note: This template does not have a place for Administrators to provide links to specific edits or comments which lead to the block. It is left to a blocking Administrator to decide where to place those links when using this template.
When calling this template, an Admin is strongly encouraged to use Template Substitution. If substitution is not used, messages previously left will be changed if the template is ever updated, which could upset or 迷惑 some users.
Example:
{{subst:Template:Blocked_User | duration = 1 week | reason = edit warring}}

What Not To Do
Under no circumstances should you attempt to evade your block by creating a new account. Block evasion is a violation of this wiki's Code of Conduct, and is grounds for extending your original block. Additionally, block evasion often makes administrators angry, which can make it more difficult for them to judge any appeals in an impartial manner.
