This is a documentation subpage for Template:Rangeblock. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

{{Rangeblock|comments (optional)|sig=~~~~ (optional)|create=yes (optional)}}

Important: Only use |sig=~~~~ if you wish to sign the default blocking notice when used on a talk page. Remember that signatures are not substituted in the block reason field.

You are encouraged to use this template as a blocking reason whenever you are blocking an IP range due to sock puppetry or other long term abuse.

Please do not subst: this template as contact details may change in the future. This template was designed especially for use as a block reason as readers frequently attempt to email us before they even read their IP address's talk page.

|create= allows you to specify if you have allowed account creation from the IP/range, and therefore directs them to the create account page.
