 | Template:Blocked text is the standardized message shown when a blocked user attempts to edit 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. |

Protected edit request on 11 February 2025
[edit] | This edit request to MediaWiki:Wikimedia-globalblocking-blockedtext-user has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please add the following to MediaWiki:Wikimedia-globalblocking-blockedtext-user:
{{int:Wikimedia-globalblocking-blockedtext-ip|$1|$2|$3|$4|$5|$6|$7|$8}}
This will ensure that the username and IP global block messages remain in sync. Also for MediaWiki:Wikimedia-globalblocking-blockedtext-ip, please change "IP address" in the block header to (userorip) as documented in {{blocked text}}. Aasim (話す) 20:49, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- Actually amending my request. Please actually add the following to the first page:
{{Blocked text|1=$1|2=$2|3=$3|4=$4|5=$5|6=$6|7=$7|8=$8 |blockheader=This account has been [[m:Global blocks|globally blocked]]. |opener=This block affects editing on all Wikimedia wikis. |descriptor=globally |closer=Even while globally blocked, you will ''usually'' still be able to edit pages on [[m:|Meta-Wiki]]. |appealinfo={{int:wikimedia-globalblocking-blockedtext-appeal-user}} |usefullink1=m:Global blocks{{!}}Global blocks |usefullink2=Help:I have been blocked }}
- Producing:
- If you can actually update the second message to use the
int:parser function (which gets the localized version of an interface message) instead of a transclusion of MediaWiki namespace, that would also be nice, but it is not necessary right away. Aasim (話す) 01:06, 12 February 2025 (UTC) 
Done the first change. I don't see the value in using "int:" for the second change - this is the English Wikipedia and we have no reason to support other languages here. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:52, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

[edit] | This edit request to MediaWiki:Blockedtext-partial has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Change |notblocked=perform other actions on other pages to |notblocked=''read'' this page and perform other actions on other pages to reflect what is said on the main interface page. ToThAc (talk) 19:28, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
My own edit request
[edit]I have made my own edit request with minor changes. Here it is:
You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia due to a block affecting your account.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, unless being specifically disallowed from doing so.
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.

- We don't need non-admins with only 30 edits futzing around with the block template UI. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:14, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- you're right... ThatGreenRabbit (talk) 21:39, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
New messages for different types of blocks
[edit]When a user tries to create an account, but is blocked from doing so, the user is met with an "Account creation error" screen, saying that they are blocked from editing. However, this sort of doesn't make sense, because they are blocked from creating accounts in this case.
To compensate for this, I've created block messages for:
- Blocked from creating new accounts
- Blocked from emailing
- Cannot edit own talk page
