Examples of usage: fake link to discussion

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{tsc|Banned}}

This template adds pages to [[:Category:Banned Wikipedia users]]. '''It should ''not'' be used for normal blocks;''' rather, it is for accounts that have been banned after due consideration. The template adds the [[Wikipedia:Controlling search engine indexing|<code><nowiki>__NOINDEX__</nowiki></code> magic word]]. Adding this template does ''not'' ban a user. Please read [[Wikipedia:Banning policy]] for more information.

==Syntax==
'''Note''': all parameters are optional, however the <code>link</code> parameter '''should be included''' so that other editors can read the discussion that led to the banning.
:*<code>link</code> – adds text at the bottom of the template. This is often used to include a [[WP:Permalink|permanent link]] (or wikilink to the AN or ANI archive) to the discussion which resulted in the site ban. <code>link2</code> and <code>link3</code> can also be used for multiple decisions (such as recording a declined ban appeal).
:*<code>time</code> – specifies the time for which the user was banned.
:*:A value of 'indef', 'indefinite', or 'indefinitely' will display as "banned indefinitely"
:*:Any other value places the page into [[:Category:Wikipedia users banned for a limited period]]
:*<code>by</code> – specifies the source of the ban. This may be just text or a wikilink to indicate who initiated the ban. For example, "the community" is often used for a community ban. In the case of users banned by the [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]], please use the text "the Arbitration Committee" (with or without a link). This will suppress the appearance of a banner on the user page, and instead add the user to [[:Category:Wikipedia users banned by the Arbitration Committee]].
