A few small additions to the Wookieepedia:Blocking policy based on Forum:SH:WP:BOTS loophole and an earlier conversation I've had about leaving a message similar to {{Blocked}} to indicate why a user was unblocked—{{AppealReason}}. This is particularly useful if the block appeal process had taken place off-site, for example via a Message Wall on Community Central.

  • Under "Technical process," append "followed by a brief public explanation via {{AppealReason}} on the user's talk page" to "Blocks may be removed via Special:Unblock"
  • Under "Grounds for blocking," add point number three for Bot mismanagement: "Given that bots can edit pages en masse, bots shall not advance any agenda against consensus or disrupt the site, whether by accident or design."
  • Under "Rules," append "including access to any bot" to "All blocked users shall have any authorities and permissions revoked, including Discord server access, review board membership, social media accesses, and user rights"
