 | Template:Blocked text is the standardized message shown when a blocked user attempts to edit or perform other write actions on Wikipedia. Depending on the type and scope of the block, MediaWiki:Blockedtext, MediaWiki:Autoblockedtext, or one of many other messages may be shown. This interface message or skin may also be documented on MediaWiki.org or translatewiki.net. The page forms part of the MediaWiki interface, and can only be edited by administrators and interface editors. To request a change to the page, add {{edit fully-protected}} to this page, followed by a description of your request. Consider announcing discussions you add here at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) to bring more people to the discussion. |

The page name “Wikipedia” is correct on that page, but using that name on other pages is definitely incorrect, so change Wikipedia to {{PAGENAME}}. Thanks for understanding. ~2026-42858-20 (talk) 00:12, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
Not done that doesn't make sense. Edit requests need to be very specific, as in "change x to y". Feel free to use this section for a general discussion of your topic though. — xaosflux Talk 12:50, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello, there is a problem if you keep the 7 empty:
This account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
The account has been blocked for the following reason(s):
This block will expire on .
Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.
For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.
It renders a big ' after the text The {{#if:{{#invoke:IPAddress|isIpOrRange|{{{7|}}}}}|IP address or range|account}}, can't find an answer in the code, anyone else? Thx and Regards ~2026-45327-02 (talk) 21:04, 18 August 2026 (UTC)
- It's due to how the template is written. If no user has been stated, it returns an empty string, which leaves the code to run '''[nothing]''' aka '''''', which is understood as 'bolditalics and reports an unclosed bold and unclosed italics error while also displaying the perceived leftover ' instead of realizing it's just an empty bolding.
- Support correction of this edgecase issue. Zinnober9 (talk) 15:14, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
- I have fixed this issue in the /sandbox (diff). There is a test case showing the difference. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:30, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

Please create the page with {{int:autoblockedtext|$1|$2|$3|$4|$5|$6|$7|$8|$9|$10}}, I am not sure if this message appears but it may be necessary to show the relevant autoblocked message when a temporary account block is automatically transferred to an IP address.

Edit request to add support for detecting talk page and email access
 | It is requested that edits be made to the following fully protected pages:
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edits immediately.
Edit requests to fully protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |
Please implement my changes in the sandbox, which adds proper detection of talk page and email access based on whether the blocked account is a temporary account or not (through a template and module created for this purpose {{user type}} and Module:User type). Add "9=$9" and "10=$10" to the top parameters for this so the top reads {{Blocked text|1=$1|2=$2|3=$3|4=$4|5=$5|6=$6|7=$7|8=$8|9=$9|10=$10.
Also, for MediaWiki:Blockedtext-tempuser and MediaWiki:Autoblockedtext-tempuser, replace these with {{int:Blockedtext|$1|$2|$3|$4|$5|$6|$7|$8|$9|}} and {{int:Autoblockedtext|$1|$2|$3|$4|$5|$6|$7|$8|$9|}}, since because the tenth parameter specifies email, if the user is a temporary account they cannot send emails. This will also make it easier to update the template behavior. Aasim (話す) 19:49, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
