New accounts are blocked if their username is too similar to the username of another account. This is done in order to prevent confusion, impersonation, or abuse. This block is not meant to punish you, nor is it meant to imply or accuse you of any wrongdoing.
You are welcome to create a new account with a username that is more easily distinguishable, or if you'd rather continue using this account, request a username change by:
{{unblock-un|user=your new username here|reason=your reason here}}
to the bottom of your talk page.{{unblock|Your reason here}}
. However, it is recommended that you review and understand Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks first. Thank you.
![]() | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Uw-ublock-double}} ). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
![]() | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
This template is used to notify a user that they have been blocked. It informs them of the reason for their block and describes the steps they can take if they wish to continue editing. It has been carefully designed based on guidelines by the user warnings project.
Please refer to the index of message templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
Note: Only administrators can block users; adding a block template does not constitute a block. See RFAA to request that a user be blocked.
Please remember to substitute the template by using {{subst:Uw-ublock-double}}
rather than {{Uw-ublock-double}}
. (Although this template must be substituted in the user talk page, it has also been designed to display properly when substitution is not possible.)
To give greater detail to your message, you may specify: the block duration, a specific reason for the block, and to auto-include your signature.
{{subst:Uw-ublock-double|anon=yes|reason=For a different reason|notalk=yes|page=Targeted page|sig=yes}}
anon
parameter.page
parameter to refer to a page on which the conduct supporting the block occurred.notalk
parameter should always be omitted unless the user cannot edit their own talk page.for
parameter can be used if the word "for" before the block reason doesn't grammatically work. For example, if for=per
is written, the block notice will say "blocked from editing per". Don't use this parameter if you don't want to change the word "for".© MMXXIII Rich X Search. We shall prevail. All rights reserved. Rich X Search
