User:AGK/Blocked/3RR

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You have been blocked from editing for a period of {{{time}}} in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for edit warring at [[:{{{page}}}]]. It is essential that you are more careful to discuss controversial changes with the user in question, rather than simply revert them repeatedly: this applies even if you think or know you are correct. Edit warring helps nobody, and actually harms the page in question, and the encyclopedia - please bear this in mind.

Kind regards,
~~

If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by
adding the text "{{unblock|
your reason here}}" below this text, or contact me.

Usage

This should only be used by an Administrator (sysop) to notify a user that they have been blocked for a 3-Revert Rule (3RR) violation, which quite often (but not necessarily) will have been reported at the Administrator's Noticeboard for 3RR Violations.

The technical usage of this template is this: firstly, block the user - this step should always come first: if a user is aware they are about to be blocked, but aren't yet, they may be tempted to go on a "rampage", as such, which does nothing but disrupt the encyclopedia.

Secondly, place the following text on the page:

{{User:AGK/Blocked/3RR|time=length of block (e.g., 10 hours)|page=the page that the violation occured at (e.g., Salsa sause)}}.

This will place the template, with the information you have provided (the block length, and page the violation occurred on), but without this documentation.

Please direct any questions to my talk page.

Blocked?

This is not the place to discuss a block, including those made by me. Instead, see my contact page for information on contacting me, including non-Wiki methods, such as email, which will be the only method available if you are blocked.
