Wikibooks:Request for blocked user change

Wikipedia is set up so that blocked users can edit their own talk pages in order to request an unblock (using a template). This seems a good idea, since currently blocked users must instead email the blocking administrator.

The talk pages of very serious vandals could be protected to prevent them from editing.

This requires a bugzilla request. Which is now bugzilla:8001.

• I'd be more comfortable with block if there was an easy way for blocked accounts to communicate with admins. --SB_Johnny | ^talk 15:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Sounds good to me. --darklama ^talk 17:35, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• I have no problem with this --Herby ^{talk thyme} 17:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• I haven't seen a need for it, but I don't block that much. Helpful when needed. -withinfocus 02:43, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Ok, if you say that this works, than let's try it. --Derbeth ^talk 21:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
