This category gets block templates used by administrators. Many of these templates are heavily used; please be careful when making changes to these. These templates should generally be placed on the user talk page using {{subst:TemplateName}} (some templates may have optional parameters).
Twinkle – A comprehensive block+template tool. Allows you to choose a preset that auto-supplies the standard block duration, block summary, and template to issue to the user. You will see different presets and options when blocking IPs versus accounts. You can also use this gadget just to template the user and not block, and vice versa.
The time parameter is almost always used, as it signifies when the block expires. The reason parameter is rarely used, and by default blames the block on vandalism. As such, although the order of parameters in the templates are time-reason-signature, the template parameters are input as signature-time-reason.
If you do not set a block expiry, replace time=Duration with indef=yes. An already indefinite block template does not require the time or indef parameters. If not blocking an anonymous user, omit the anon parameter. Include the page parameter to refer to a page on which the conduct supporting the block occurred.
Timeblocking or time blocking (also known as time chunking [1]) is a productivity technique for personal time management where a period of time—typically a day or week—is divided into smaller segments or blocks for specific tasks or to-dos. It integrates the function of a calendar with that of a to-do list. It is a kind of scheduling. [1]
The existing blocking tools (Special:Block, the API, Twinkle, Special:BlockList, etc.) are used daily by numerous users across all Wikimedia wikis. Using these tools can be time intensive, so we would like to explore ideas of how we can simplify the workflows to set or modify a block, monitor block logs, and check the status or details of a block.
