==Appealing==

Your block will expire $6. If you do not wish to wait for your block to expire, you may contact $1 (the blocking administrator) ''']''' to resolve the problem that led to the block. You cannot use the 'email this user' feature unless you have a valid email address registered and confirmed in your ] and you have not been blocked from using it.

to the '''bottom''' of ] (which you can edit while blocked, unless it is protected) to request unblocking. Please be aware that abuse of this template will result in ] of that page.

==IP blocked?==

Unfortunately, each ] on the Internet does not necessarily map directly to a single person depending upon one's ]. If your block log (check via ]) does not list any current blocks, then your IP address or range has been "hard blocked" due to abuse either by the previous person who was ] or ] your IP address.

Please copy-paste the following text to the '''bottom''' of ].

:<tt>{&#123;unblock-auto|1=$3|2=<nowiki>$2</nowiki>|3=$1&#125;}</tt>

'''Do not do this if you were blocked directly'''; instead, see the "Appealing" section ].

If this problem affects you repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your ] or IT department and ask them to contact ] ] about enabling ] HTTP headers on their ]s. This will reduce collateral damage from future autoblocks.

==Unregistered?==
], the software that Misplaced Pages runs on, identifies users without an account through their ]. However, some IPs are shared by many people, and as a result unregistered users are sometimes blocked for the misbehavior of another editor. Since ] have no way to accurately tell the claims of an innocent user from those of an anonymous vandal, we strongly encourage you to . This gives you your own ], which administrators can use to determine if you are a trustworthy user who has been inadvertently blocked.

Blocks tagged in their reason as "AO" or "AB" have been set to "anonymous-only" meaning only registered users who have logged in can edit from this IP address. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, we suggest the following:
* Try again after the block on your IP address expires.
* Create an account at home and then log in at your school or workplace, if you are blocked there.
* Ask a trusted friend on a different network to create an account for you. Don't forget to change the password when you first access the account.
* Use ] ] at , this may bypass your network's ].

See ] for a full list of benefits that come with registration.
