MediaWiki:Blockiptext

You can use this form to block editing access from individual accounts or IP addresses in accordance with the blocking policy.

Please remember to include an informative reason for blocking. When using the pull-down menu, please also elaborate on the following line whenever helpful (citing relevant policy pages, sock puppet accounts, the nature of the disruption, Arbitration Committee rulings, etc.). Keep in mind that the block message will be very visible when someone tries to edit Wikipedia through the blocked account or IP.

  • When blocking legitimate bot accounts, please ensure that you disable autoblocks to avoid blocking the bot owner.
