==The text at the bottom==
Currently I find this page to be very awkward, to see a big red box that looks professionally made and then several paragraphs of text swept underneath it, as if we suddenly forgot how to edit the text inside the box.
In addition, I personally find this wall of text to be very redundant and excessively long. I think it helps people better if they had less text to read and it got "straight to the point".
Just as a reference, here are the page's parameters:
*Blocking administrator: $1.
*Reason given: $2
*Start of block: $8
*Expiry of block: $6
*Intended blockee: $7
*Block ID: #$5
*Current IP address: $3
It would make more sense if we combined these all into the one box, presenting the details of the block to the blocked user. Underneath it would be much simpler and shorter instructions on telling the blocked user what to do. We could probably create another Help page that we can link to, which would provide more details about the block - similar to [[wikipedia:Help:I have been blocked|Wikipedia's]]. Oh, and speaking of Wikipedia, their [[wikipedia:MediaWiki:Blockedtext|Blockedtext template]], IMO, is a bit clearer.
