Template:Banned user/doc

This template adds pages to Category:Banned Wikipedia users. It should not be used for normal blocks; rather, it is for legitimate accounts that have been banned after due consideration. The template adds the  magic word.

Syntax
Note: all parameters are optional, however the  parameter should be included so that other editors can read the discussion that led to the banning.
 * – adds text at the bottom of the template. This is often used to include a permanent link (or wikilink to the AN or ANI archive) to the discussion which resulted in the site ban.  and   can also be used for multiple decisions (such as recording a declined ban appeal).
 * – 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
 * – 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 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.
 * – transcludes Namewarning at the bottom.
