Template talk:Block

Redesign?

Just a heads-up: in my sandbox I'm currently drafting a new template that could complement or replace the existing block template. I just feel that a block notification is more useful than a template at the top of the talk page, not just to inform the user that they're blocked, but also for several other reasons:

• We would be able to write longer/more detailed block reasons (I know we can do that with the existing template, but it starts to look untidy).
• It would be easier to keep track of an account's disciplinary record and the blocks they have accumulated, without having to search the block logs.
• We wouldn't have to remember to remove the template after the block expired.

Certainly not a final design, and the temporary and indefinite templates need combining into one which I haven't implemented yet.

Good but maybe the permanent ban one should be red. Acnh Player (talk) 14:00, May 19, 2024 (EDT)

I did consider that, but it looks too similar to Template:BlockWarning. As I said, it's not the final design, and I'm sure the colors will change if it's implemented. Drago (talk) 14:03, May 19, 2024 (EDT)

Maybe template:Blockwarning should be yellow, and the permanent ban should be red. It doesn't make sense if the warning is more red than the actual ban template. Acnh Player (talk) 14:51, May 19, 2024 (EDT)
