Category:Requests for unblock

This category allows administrators to quickly locate users who have requested unblocking, whether they are suffering from collateral damage caused by another block, or they would like the original block placed against them removed or reduced. Users can add themselves to this category by placing the {{unblock}} template on their user talk page (which they can still edit while blocked, providing it is not protected).

Per Wikipedia:Blocking policy and Wikipedia:Appealing a block, administrators should not unblock users without discussing with the blocking admin except in cases where the block is clearly unjustified.

If you decide to unblock a user, please remove the {{unblock}} tag. Depending on your response, you can replace it with the {{unblock reviewed}} or {{request accepted}} templates. Other useful template responses include {{autoblock}} and {{2nd chance}}. Other templates include {{unblock-auto}}/{{unblock-auto reviewed}} and {{unblock-un}}/{{unblock-un reviewed}} for autoblocks and username blocks, respectively.

Other resources include the unblock-en-l mailing list and #wikipedia-en-unblock IRC channel, both mentioned in the #External links section, below. The list of pages in this category is also on a bot-generated list at User:Cyde/List of requests for unblock.
