Usage
[edit] | This template should not be substituted – use {{School block}}. |
{{School block|comments (optional)|sig=~~~~ (optional)}}
Recommendations: Do not subst: this template as contact details may change in the future. This template was designed especially for use as a block reason as readers frequently attempt to email us before they even read their IP address' talk page.
You are encouraged to use this template as a blocking reason whenever you are blocking a shared educational IP. For blocks shorter than 3 months, it is recommended that you do not duplicate this notice on a blocked IP's talk page and instead use other user block templates to provide immediate notification to the vandal of the block. As this template is rather large, it is preferable that we do not have it displayed multiple times simultaneously for each talk page.
Important: Only use |sig=~~~~ if you wish to sign the default blocking notice when used on a talk page. Remember that signatures are not substituted in the block reason field.
To remove at home from the login instructions, use {{School block|home=no}} or {{School block|comments|home=no}}. Technically, this will work with home set to any value, but setting it to no is usually less confusing for everyone.
