Template:User wikipedia/sock

While having a template to tag the userpages of blocked socks would be useful, this template is not useful. We don't need a userbox for socks of banned editors. This just isn't useful, and non-sarcastic use would like run afoul of WP:DENY. Hog Farm Talk 04:48, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Special:Contributions/Sockmanwoman their first edit was to create this, and their username being what it is, they are probably a sock and just trolling.  D r e a m Focus  04:52, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Their second edit was to ad it to their user page. This could be a speedy G3 (vandalism) or G5 (since it was created by an editor who claims to be a sock of  a blocked user). I had already opened an ANI thread to deal with user, and I expected this template to be dealt with as part of that. Meters (talk) 04:57, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * We already have a means of tagging socks' user pages, and one that is much more visible than this little userbox. Meters (talk) 05:00, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
