 * This template has been carefully designed based on guidelines by the user warnings project and the standardised block message.
 * 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 (mostly likely SPI) to request that a user be blocked.
 * Please remember to substitute the template by using  rather than.
 * Although this template must be substituted in the user talk page, it has also been designed to display properly when substitution is not possible.

Usage
Place this template on the user talk page (not the user page) of blocked editor. All parameters are optional, except if you are blocking a sockpuppeteer, in which case yes must be included.

Sockpuppets

Sockpuppeteers

Parameters
All parameters



Notes
 * Omitting yes will tailor the wording for a sockpuppet and also state that the block is indefinite (unless overridden with time.
 * For long term disruptive sockpuppets or established users include no which will remove "Multiple accounts are allowed ... deleted without discussion".
 * yes parameter should always be omitted unless a CheckUser has confirmed the sockpuppetry.
 * reason will override mention of sockpuppetry being the reason, but keep the guidance parameter (which can be removed independently, see above).
