Template talk:Rangeblock

message: Looks OK to me. A couple of suggestions if I'm going to be picky.
* Is having a link to the mailing list a good idea? It's useful when used properly, I suppose, but it's inevitably going to lead to yet more emails. Can you guys cope?
* Since the user hasn't necessarily done anything wrong, perhaps something like the "info" icon, or the icon currently on  would be better than the warning triangle?
* Perhaps there should be a link to the blocking policy somewhere? Vandalism is already linked, but I assume there's at least a chance this will be used in other circumstances. I can't quite see where best to link it from the current wording, though.

replies: text: Hm. All some good points. I think I'd prefer that the link stay, since it seems to be their last good line of communication, but I can see the argument. Should probably link to blocking policy. Icon switch may be good. I think a really major concern, for me, is making it clear that a range of IP addresses has been blocked, and that the user seeing the message may not (probably not, in fact) have had anything to do with the block. An unfortunate number of people don't understand that and get offended. Luna Santin 16:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. Perhaps, "Due to persistent vandalism or other disruption from one or more users..."? – Gurch 01:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

text: It's a thought. I'd assumed the difference would be whether account creation was enabled or not -- unless we'd prefer that be a moot point? Luna Santin 20:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On further reflection, I've noticed that I tend to use  in practice, and I haven't seen too many people using . The masses prefer anonblock, it seems. ;) Well done. Luna Santin 04:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

message: In case my edit summary didn't explain it well enough, here is a screenshot of what I saw when I opened an edit window on my phone (while looking into an unrelated bug) and found out that apparently my cell's IP range has been blocked. Since the template was being viewed from mainspace, it was triggering the error in  warning against using the template there. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 14:48, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello, I would like to propose to change the link from the word range to point to Subnetwork. I believe that explains what an IP range is better, and is also actually where IP range points to. Thanks for your consideration. Martin Urbanec (talk) 18:08, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

message: I put some proposed changes in Template:Rangeblock/sandbox. It is clearer to start with the positive (if you have an account). The negative (if you don't) then follows naturally. Any thoughts? Johnuniq (talk) 01:32, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I put a comparison of the current and proposed (sandbox) templates at User:Johnuniq/sandbox (permalink). Johnuniq (talk) 08:52, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

text: While we're at it, we might want to swap "you may request that volunteers create your username for you" to "you may request that volunteers create your account for you" (bold purely illustrative), as that is what is ultimately being created - an account. Other changes look good to me for what it's worth. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 09:00, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I wondered about that. Do you think "account" might be too jargony for someone looking at a rangeblock notice? They would understand "username". Johnuniq (talk) 09:22, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps, although the following sentence makes the meaning pretty clear I think. I don't have a strong opinion on this really (just being a pedant!) so if you feel it's best left as-is I'll defer to your experience. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 09:37, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your feedback. I'm hoping for more as I don't want to be bold with a used but seldom-noticed template. Johnuniq (talk) 09:40, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  If you'd like a bit more feedback, which I know is sometimes hard to get on template talk pages until someone starts shouting at you, then (any of) these changes look OK to me. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:54, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks all, I copied the sandbox to the main template so we'll find out if there are any problems. Johnuniq (talk) 02:29, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
