{{ombox|image=[[File:Emblem-important-red.svg|40px]]|text='''Occasionally a user has the same [[IP address]] as a blocked user, and is shown a block message describing that other user's activity.''' If you receive a block notice not directed at your actions, you should ask for assistance calmly as described below and the matter will be investigated.}}
 
TL:DR: Understand in full the reasons of your block before requesting an unblock. Put all the relevant information in the unblock request, and only that. Keep your mind calm and [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]] on the part of our experienced administrators. If your appeal is rejected, ''do not'' make a new one until you thoroughly understand the reasons.
 
This is a '''guide to making unblock requests.'''
 
Users may be [[WP:BP|blocked]] from editing by WikipediaTestWiki [[WP:ADMIN|administrator]]sbureaucrats and consuls to prevent damage or disruption to WikipediaTestWiki. Blocks are lifted if they are not (or no longer) necessary to prevent such damage or disruption.
 
'''You,''' as a blocked editor, are responsible for '''convincing administratorsconsuls:'''
:* that the block is '''no longer necessary''' because you understand what you are blocked for, you will not do it again, and you will make productive contributions instead; <u>'''or:</u>
:* that the block was '''not necessary''' to prevent damage or disruption (i.e., that the block violates our [[WP:BP|blocking policy]]); <u>'''or:</u>
:* that your conduct (under any account or IP address) '''is not connected in any way with the block''' (this can happen if a block is aimed at resolving a separate situation and you are unintentionally blocked as a result because you use the same IP range).
 
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
:* If you make repeated invalid or offensive unblock requests, your talk page access may be revoked which makes it even more difficult to request unblocking.
 
To make an unblock request, copy the following text <u>to the bottom</u> of [[Special:Mytalk|your user talk page]]: <!--DO NOT COPY THE CODE FROM THIS EDITOR. COPY THE CODE DISPLAYED IN THE GUIDE. --><code><nowiki>{{unblock|1=Insert your reason to be unblocked here &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;}}</nowiki></code>.<!--DO NOT COPY THE CODE FROM THIS EDITOR. COPY THE CODE DISPLAYED IN THE GUIDE. --> Don't forget to insert your own reason to replace "Insert your reason to be unblocked here". Its composition will be discussed below. If you find that you cannot edit your talk page, fillcontact outa theconsul formby at the [[WP:UTRS|Unblock Ticket Request System]]email.
 
More technical and procedural guidance can be found at '''[[Wikipedia:Appealing a block]]'''.
