Template:Blocked/doc

Usage
This template should be used on blocked user's talk pages. While everyone can add this tag, it should typically only be placed by the blocking administrator. If the blocker doesn't think it's needed, the odds are it isn't.

This template takes three unnamed parameters. The first parameter shows the block length. If this parameter is not preset, the templates shows that the user is blocked indefiniely. The second parameter shows the block reason. The third parameter shows the administrator who blocked this user.

Note: Only administrators can block users, simply placing this template on a non-blocked user's talk page does not block the user from editing.
