 | This template should always be substituted – use {{subst:AE sanction/topicban}}. |
This template is a convenient, standardised method of notifying an editor that they have had discretionary sanctions or arbitration sanction(s) in the form of a topic ban imposed on them. Only uninvolved administrators may impose topic bans on another editor under the terms of an arbitration policy, and sanctions must be given in accordance with the procedure at Wikipedia:Contentious topics or a specific arbitration case.
The template requires three parameters:
{{subst:AE sanction/topicban
| sanction = <description of sanction imposed on recipient of notice>
| rationale = for the reasons provided in response to [[Special:Permalink/REVISIONID#USERNAME|this arbitration enforcement request]].
| decision = <decision code – see below for list> OR <link to final decision page, *without* #Final_decision anchor>
}}
A blank copy of the template is below, so you do not have to delete the explanatory text from the above:
{{subst:AE sanction/topicban
| sanction =
| rationale =
| decision =
}}
Remember you need to use this template in a "new message" on user talk pages; because a header is provided by this template, when you use it you don't have to enter a subject heading. The template must always be substituted. Your signature is automatically included.
The "decision code" is one of the same decision codes used in the other standardised Arbitration Enforcement templates:
