Template talk:Autoblock

message: This template is very poorly worded. People who have user accounts don't get a warning when auto blocked, and when they asked to be unblocked they get "Please note that we cannot unblock you at this time because you have not given us the information we need to look into your block.". 
Wouldn't something like "Due to the nature of the block applied  we need additional information before deciding on unblocking." ? -Ravedave 03:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What about "Please note that we cannot investigate this block at this time" or something like it? Gets the same point in without being quite as wordy. – Luna Santin (talk) 19:37, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  But the block can be investigated. The user just needs to follow the steps in the template. How about "Before a decision to unblock can be made please provide the following information:" ? -Ravedave 20:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I fell foul of an IP address range block last night when a very large range of dynamically assigned addresses were blocked.  Without going into the merits or otherwise of the block, the issue I seek to address is that when I clicked on the link in the block message I was taken here.  These instructions are completely useless in this circumstance, particularly instruction 3.  The items referred to in that instruction simply do not exist in this instance.  I suspect that this is because no one had posted a block message on my talk page, not surprising since the block was not directed at me, but nevertheless I was unable to edit the Wiki and I was also unable to follow the instructions to request a review of the block, or at least an exception for myself as seems to be implied as a possibility.  Can we at least modify these instruction so that people caught as collateral damage can actually do something about it? - Nick Thorne talk 21:35, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the issue is that the block template you saw, :Template:CheckUser block, shouldn't actually have led you to the Autoblock template at all. I have removed that reference. --(ʞɿɐʇ)  ɐuɐʞsǝp 00:34, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  IP range blocks 

message: The problem described by User:Nick Thorne in the preceding section has not been resolved. When an Unblock request is pending, :Template:Unblock states (I have put the problematic part in bold italics):
:* In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check your block log. If no blocks are listed, or the latest one has already expired, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Clicking on the instructions link takes you to Template:Autoblock, which in turn states:
:3. If you are still blocked, copy the  code generated for you under the "IP blocked?" section. This is usually hidden within the "What do I do now?" section. If so, just click the "[show]" link to the right hand side to show this text.
The problem is that the sections described in those instructions are never seen by users caught as collateral damage. 94.197.67.32 (talk) 19:28, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Protection template 

message: My account has been blocked -- that's another story -- but I sometimes still log in so I can check my watch list pages.  The problem is that merely logging in to my account means the IP address of where I log in (library, Starbucks, airport) is then auto blocked for everyone else.  This isn't fair since I have no intention of getting around my block and because I just want to log in to check my watch list (which is allowed).   The block is indefinite so there is no end date for the damage does to the IP address of where I log into my blocked account.  This seems to me to be unreasonable.  If you allow me to keep the account for my watch list I should be able to keep logging in without hurting others.  Please advise.  8.12.251.19 (talk) 19:03, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Template-protected edit request on 15 April 2017 

message: This is probably just me being nitpicky, but there's a small grammatical error. If and then phrases need a comma, meaning that "If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing" needs to be changed to "If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox, then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing." The comma after the word "sandbox" is the difference. SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 13:17, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

message: In the step 3 of the instructions in this template, the section stated for MediaWiki:Autoblockedtext has been updated in revision 158508469 back in 2007 to the current "Unblock request" section, and thus it has to be rectified to match the current version (especially that the MediaWiki autoblock message has a link to this template). In addition, I also think the "This is usually hidden within the..." text is no longer necessary as it has been unhidden since revision 257846369 back in 2008.

thread_title:  Template-protected edit request on 23 October 2020 

message: Hello, template editors/administrators…
Forgive this, but I'd like to suggest the simplification of the link of "try to edit the Sandbox".
Right now we use [edit the Sandbox].
However, this same link can be generated by edit the Sandbox, effectively simplifying the link.
In wikitext, it should look like this:
Original:
#Try to [edit the Sandbox].
New:
#Try to edit the Sandbox.
If there is still consensus to use  for links like editing pages, feel free to decline this request, but please do take this into consideration.
Thanks. — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — 23:16, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

message: This page is incomprehensible. For example, it refers to an "Unblock Request" section that does not exist. It is also seriously unhelpful to any user who is not a Wikipedia jargon expert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:188:ca00:4b4:4db6:93ab:63b1:7037 (talk) 07:06, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
