Edit summary pings
Thanks for your recent contribution to Collaboration with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. I see that you pinged Elinruby in your edit summary, which is often a nice courtesy, so thanks for thinking of that. However, in this case, it's actually problematic, although you couldn't have known this. It turns out that Elinruby is topic-banned from that article, and any response by them of any kind to your ping would be a technical violation of their T-ban, and could lead to arbitration enforcement, resulting in even further sanctions on them.

When someone pings you, the natural response is to want to respond, so in this case, please don't ping them or write to them about this topic at all (not even a 'thank you') as they are unable to respond without risking sanctions, and they might be tempted to, or might respond automatically without thinking of the consequences. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is for right now. I know you didn't know, so there's nothing to apologize for, just take care going forward.

If you like, there's a gadget you can use that will let you see when someone is blocked: if they are, it decorates their user name in their signature with strikeout type (e.g., User:Example user ) when they are WP:BLOCKed, or dotted underline (User:Example2) when they are T-banned or have other partial blocks. More information about the nature of the block is sometimes available and can be seen in those cases by mousing over the decorated username (but not on mobile devices). To enable this feature, go to Preferences, tab "Gadgets", section "Appearance", then check "Strike out usernames that have been blocked" and click the SAVE button at the bottom.

 * Thanks for informing me, as well as pointing me to the gadget. I appreciate you informing me about all of this. Cukrakalnis (talk) 09:13, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
