Template:Community sanction/doc
![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Community sanction. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is a convenient, standardised method of notifying an editor that they have had community sanctions imposed on them. Only uninvolved administrators may sanction another editor under the terms of community-issued general sanctions, and sanctions should be given in accordance with the procedure at Wikipedia:General sanctions.
The template requires three parameters:
{{subst:Community sanction | sanction = <description of sanction imposed on recipient of notice> | rationale = <reason for this sanction> | decision = Topic code (below) }}
A blank copy of the template is below, so you do not have to delete the explanatory text from the above:
{{subst:Community sanction | | | }}
You don't have to declare the parameter names – only their values – but you can if you so wish (and may have to, if supplying tricky values):
{{subst:Community sanction | sanction = | rationale = | decision = }}
|
{{subst:Community sanction | 1 = | 2 = | 3 = }}
|
Remember you need to use this template in a "new message" on user talk pages; because no header is provided by this template, when you use it you will have to enter a subject man. The template must always be substituted. Your signature is automatically included.
