Template:Tempblock/doc

Description

Used on the talk page when you temporarily block someone.

Syntax

Remember to use subst. Also remember to 'sign' with three tildes, instead of the usual four.

{{subst:Tempblock
|reason     = 
|duration   = 
|sig        = ~~~
|expiration =
|policy     =
|link       =
|additional =
}}

Parameters

• Reason - Why a user has been blocked; Required parameter
• Duration - How long the block is set to last; Required parameter
• Sig - The non-timestamped signature of the administrator issuing the block; Required parameter
• Expiration - The time and date that the block expires; Optional parameter
• Policy - A citation of a specific policy that has been violated, via a link to that policy's page; Optional parameter
• Link - Cut-and-Pasted web addresses of specific historical edit 'diff's, demonstrating those edits which resulted in the block; Optional parameter
