If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:
- Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
- Provide a new username.
To do this, insert the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.
Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. 
Template documentation | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Uw-spamublock}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
This template is used to notify a user that they have been blocked. It informs them of the reason for their block and describes the steps they can take if they wish to continue editing. It has been carefully designed based on guidelines by the user warnings project.
Please refer to the index of message templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
Note: Only administrators can block users; adding a block template does not constitute a block. See RFAA to request that a user be blocked.
Usage
Please remember to substitute the template by using {{subst:Uw-spamublock}} rather than {{Uw-spamublock}}. (Although this template must be substituted in the user talk page, it has also been designed to display properly when substitution is not possible.)
To give greater detail to your message, you may specify: the block duration, a specific reason for the block, and to auto-include your signature.
{{subst:Uw-spamublock|anon=yes|reason=For a different reason|notalk=yes|page=_targeted page|sig=yes}}
Notes
- If not blocking an anonymous user, omit the
anonparameter. - Include the
pageparameter to refer to a page on which the conduct supporting the block occurred. - The
notalkparameter should always be omitted unless the user cannot edit their own talk page. - The optional
forparameter can be used if the word "for" before the block reason doesn't grammatically work. For example, iffor=peris written, the block notice will say "blocked from editing per". Don't use this parameter if you don't want to change the word "for".
