Editing Template talk:Block

You can replace <nowiki>{{{length}}}</nowiki> with <nowiki>{{{length|}}}</nowiki>. {{User:Smiddle/sig}} 16:05, 5 May 2007 (EDT)

== Usage ==

Shouldn't we start using this? {{User:Great Gonzo/sig}}

== Wrong! ==

it shouldn't be a "[[:Category:Notice templates]]" it should be a "[[:Category:User notices]]" I wish i could edit it but it is protected. 
{{User:megadardery/sig}}

:Yes, it should. I'll ask an admin to change in accordance to new policy.

== Description  ==

Why do so many users put down block|length=indefinitely. You don't have to put that down if the user is blocked forever you can just put down block |reason vandalism as it will automatically put indefinitely if no timestamp is chosen. {{User:Fawful's Minion/sig}} 05:56, 4 June 2016 (EDT)
:It doesn't matter either way. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 23:19, 4 June 2016 (EDT)

== Block template ==

Is it legal to put a fake Block template at the top of my talk page by taking the code and deleting the categorizing code? Just curious.<br>

Although very different templates, they have very similar names.  Some users might get confused and use {{tem|block}} when they should use {{tem|blocks}}.  Should the name of either template be changed?  Thanks! -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 01:14, 10 December 2017 (EST)
:I think the user would make the correction once they notice it's the wrong template, but do you have an idea in mind? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:01, 15 January 2018 (EST)

-::I'm thinking <nowiki>{{blocks-nav}}</nowiki> for {{tem|blocks}}, or maybe <nowiki>{{block-user}}</nowiki> for {{tem|block}}, or both.  I know that moving either one would be a lot of work, so maybe Porplemontage could program the bots. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 23:31, 15 January 2018 (EST)
-:::Other than [[Template:Media nav]], we don't have any other navigation templates with "nav" in the name, so I voting no on that to keep this one simple. "block-user" or "userblock" could work though maybe. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:34, 15 January 2018 (EST)

-== This template is useless ==
-Why do you need this template when you can simply '''look at the user's contribution page?''' This makes this template useless. {{User:Bowser201/sig}} 21:34, May 15, 2020 (EDT)
-:Basically it tells people not to post on the talk page, as the person will very likely not be able to respond. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:40, May 15, 2020 (EDT)
-:What Alex95 said. Users may end up on the user's talk page through another discussion page with the intent of sending them a message only to find out they've been blocked and sending one may be pointless. It also saves from going to the contributions page (which isn't prominently linked). It's not useless. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:43, May 15, 2020 (EDT)
-::Good point. This template is useful. {{User:Bowser201/sig}} 21:48, May 15, 2020 (EDT)
