Template talk:Banned user
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 |
Template:Banned user is permanently protected from editing, as it is a heavily used or visible template.
Substantial changes should be proposed here, and made by administrators if the proposal is uncontroversial, or has been discussed and is supported by consensus. Use {{editprotected}} to attract the attention of an administrator in such cases. |

{{banned user}}
 |
This user is banned from editing Wikipedia. Please review the banning policy before commenting or unblocking. (see: block log • contributions • current autoblocks) |
This template adds articles to Category:Banned Wikipedia users. It should not be used for normal blocks; it should, rather, be reserved for legitimate accounts that have been banned after due consideration.
[edit] Template proposal
I'm planning to have a newer template like this:
 |
This user is banned from editing Wikipedia under any username by decision of Jimbo Wales, the Arbitration Committee, and/or a consensus of administrators. Please consult the banning policy before commenting or unblocking. This does not prevent reading access to Wikipedia. See contributions, page moves, current autoblocks and block log. Please do not subst this template. |

- I'm not sure you need to list the triumvirate. People can check the block log and see if it was Jimbo, or if it referenced an AC case. 68.39.174.238 01:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

- I do like the bigger X though. 68.39.174.238 02:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- The text should be changed - a community ban is the result of a consensus of the community, not just of administrators. Argyriou (talk) 01:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suggestion: Add a link
In future, I think we should add a link to wherever the community discussion happened. Regards, Ben Aveling 10:22, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
For example (feel free to improve):
 |
This user is banned from editing Wikipedia by community consensus. Please review the banning policy before commenting or unblocking. (see: block log • contributions • page moves • current autoblocks) |
[edit] Image Change
{{editprotected}} I also requested this on Template talk:Indefblockeduser, and per my other comment, Image:Octagon-warning.svg didn't work, and I am asking to change the template's image to Image:Process-stop.svg, as it seems more appropriate for this template.

[edit] Change request
{{Editprotected}}
Change the link (the first one) "This user is [[WP:BAN|banned]]..." to "This user is [[Wikipedia:List of banned users|banned]]..." May make things easier to confirm the ban as sometimes the indef blocked users get put on there. Another idea may be to factor the link so it goes to the person's name on the list, but I don't know how to do that in the syntax. Kwsn(Ni!) 02:20, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- There needs to be a consensus for this change before it is made. Until(1 == 2) 04:34, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- A user does not need to be on Wikipedia:List of banned users in order to be banned, in which case the list is irrelevant. —Centrx→talk • 00:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Optional parameters
{{editprotected}} I composed a new version of this template. It has various optional parameters, including time, by and link. Note that all parameters are 100% optional, so this edit isn't really controversial, as the template will remain the same when you don't use a parameter. I did, however, remove the "page moves" link as it seems quite useless to me, but feel free to leave that the way it is. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 04:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Could you document these parameters? Sandstein 10:51, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Code to be used, assuming documentation is provided. Documentation can now be added to the /doc subpage located here:

(edit conflict) here you are.
-
timespecifies the time for which the user was banned. For example,{{banned|time=1 year}}results in
- User:Melsaran/test
- Alternatively,
{{banned|time=indef}}(or indefinite, or indefinitely) may be used, resulting in - User:Melsaran/test
byspecifies how and why the user was banned. For example,{{banned|time=indef|by=[[Wikipedia:Community sanction noticeboard/Archive10#Tobias Conradi|the community]]}}results in
- User:Melsaran/test
linkadds an optional link to the template. For example,{{banned|time=1 year|by=the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee|link=[[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Jeffrey Vernon Merkey#Jeffrey Vernon Merkey banned|Arbitration decision]]}}results in
- User:Melsaran/test
I'll add this to the documentation once the edit has been performed. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 16:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride 16:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
{{editprotected}}I think you made a mistake. this worked fine (I copied the syntax here to the documentation page), but then I changed "User:Melsaran/test" to "banned", and suddenly it is bugged (a space is missing). Please fix this. You can do this by copying the contents of [1]. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 17:54, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Done. Sorry about that; good catch. Cheers. --MZMcBride 19:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Topic Ban parameter?
It would be helpful to provide a topic parameter that replaces the default "editing in Wikipedia" with "editing in [topic]", for example "editing in Sample and it's talk page". This would supplement (or perhaps replace) the templates that currently go on the article (talk?) pages, Template:User page ban, Template:User article ban, and Template:User article&talk ban.
In my opinion, it doesn't help articles that have been abused by an editor to be further abused with the above three templates -- but that concern isn't essential to the desirability of the proposed topic parameter. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 22:36, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Since this template advises against unblocking, while topic bans are not normally blocked, perhaps a new template (based on this one) would be more appropriate. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 19:40, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Please
{{editprotected}} Please restore the original version: with a pink background and both sentences on the same line.
Not done. No reason to do this, this template is easier to understand with the text split up. - Revolving Bugbear 14:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
