Checks calendar… happy Star Wars month! As per the Blocking policy, blocked users cannot contact administrators via their Wookieepedia talk pages or in the Wookieepedia Discord server (server rights are removed while a user is blocked). While users have the option to use a Discord account to privately message an admin, the more convenient and public way to appeal a block is to ask on the blocking administrator's Message Wall on Community Central (provided that the user is not globally blocked across the Fandom platform/blocked on CC as well). However, the problem is that it isn't immediately clear to users how to get to an admin's Message Wall on CC. This route has already been standard practice for blocked users, but by providing direct links to each administrator's CC Message Wall in the "Meet the team" boxes on Wookieepedia:Administrators (WP:A), we can make things more transparent and less of a hassle for everyone.

Wookieepedia:Contact (which is linked in the {{Blocked}} message) as well as the MediaWiki:Blockedtext permission error page have been updated to clarify that block appeals may be taken up via CC Message Walls, but the Blocking policy itself and Forum:Administrators' noticeboard have yet to be updated. Should this vote pass, I'll put forward the Forum:SH:Blocking policy revamp for consideration after updating the relevant block appeal section to mention that users can use the Message Wall links provided on WP:A and also update the admin noticeboard accordingly.
