This template is used on user pages in order to notify other users that a user has been blocked/banned from editing on the wiki.

You can add this to user page and the user talk page aswell (only put the latter with {{{nocat}}} parameter on it to prevent adding talk pages to the category).

If the block was temporary and the user has been unblocked/unbanned, move this template to user talk pages and add {{{nocat}}} to prevent adding the user pages/user talk pages to Category:Banned Users category.
