:::::{{u|Anton}}, sorry for talking your time, I'm closing this discussion because yes <code>sysops</code> can unblock themselves as listed at [[Special:ListGroupRights]]. I tested block on myself and yes, I could unblock myself. Thank you! – [[User:Olipino|Olipino]] ([[user talk:Olipino|talk]]) 14:15, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

== Change in the [[TestWiki:Main policy#Blocking and unblocking]] ==

Hello fellows, the policy clearly states that {{talkquote|You may create test accounts to test blocks or you can place blocks on yourself.}} It is ok to test blocks on yourself (your own/main account), but it also states {{talkquote|You may create test accounts to test blocks}} which, in my opinion is wrong. If users create an alternative account, the underlining IP address remains same and if they block the alternative account, their main account will also get blocked and won't be able to test anything since the IP address will be same in both the accounts. This happened to me (probably on my second day here). I'd suggest to replace {{talkquote|You may create test accounts to test blocks or you can place blocks on yourself.}} with {{talkquote|As a best practice, test blocked should be made on [[User:Example]] or yourself.}}
