Category:Requests for unblock

This category has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
This notice will hide itself when this category has fewer than 15 items. (recount)

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.

current requests
subcategories

This category allows administrators to quickly locate current requests for unblock from blocked users; these requests may come from users if they are suffering from collateral damage caused by an unrelated block, or from users who would like a block removed or reduced.

If you are a blocked user who would like to be unblocked, place the {{unblock}} template on your user talk page, accompanied with a reason. If you are unable to do that for some reason, fill out the form provided by the Wikipedia Unblock Ticket Request System. More information can be found in the Guide to appealing blocks.

Information for administrators

Per the blocking policy and block appeals guidelines, unless exceptional or expedient circumstances apply, administrators should not unblock a user without prior discussion with the blocking admin, nor should they review an unblock request where they have a conflict of interest, whether by having set the original block or by participating in disputes relating to it. Administrators also must not review any requests or lift any block marked {{checkuserblock}} ; other unblock requests which should be left for consideration only by CheckUsers are range blocks, and those concerning blocks for sockpuppetry.

In general, an unblock request should be removed and replaced with an appropriate response, when unblocking or reviewing a block.

Common unblocking templates and responses

Unblock template	Reviewed template	Description
{{unblock}}	{{unblock reviewed}}	Standard unblock request.
{{unblock-auto}}	{{unblock-auto reviewed}}	Custom unblock request for autoblocks (see Category:Requests for unblock-auto).
{{unblock-ip}}	{{unblock-ip reviewed}}	Custom unblock request for blocks on a user's IP address (often confused for autoblocks) (templates currently redir to {{unblock-auto}}).
{{unblock-un}}	{{unblock-un reviewed}}	Custom unblock request for username blocks (see Category:Requests for username changes when blocked).

Common response	Description
{{subst:2nd chance}}	Asks user to read content guidelines, demonstrate good faith by improving an article on their talk page.
{{subst:autoblocked}}	User is autoblocked (or otherwise blocked), and admins need more information to respond.
{{subst:Decline reason here}}	Default response included in {{unblock}} if none other is specified.
{{subst:rangeblocked}}	Sometimes useful for responding to users hit by a rangeblock.
{{subst:request accepted}}	User's unblock request has been granted by an administrator.
{{unblock on hold}}	Extended wait for comment from blocking admin, temporarily removes request from main unblock category (see Category:Unblock on hold).
