== Mistake on usage ==
{{tl|Editprotected}}

The section on usage reads:

'''Usage:''' <code>{&#123;Anonblock|''optional comments''|sig=<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> (optional)&#125;}</code>

But a 1= is needed for the optional comments parameter to work, so it should be:

'''Usage:''' <code>{&#123;Anonblock|1=''optional comments''|sig=<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> (optional)&#125;}</code>
:{{tick}} '''Done'''. I've clarified when the 1= is needed. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 17:09, 25 April 2007 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

== Unblock-en-l link ==

I've converted this to a section link. I'm well aware there is no "Emailing us" section on this template -- it's linking to a section on [[MediaWiki:Blockedtext]], where there ''is'' such a section. The mailto: link encourages people to send messages without reading any of the relevant instructions, which has wasted a lot of time and effort in the past (they get to wait several hours for a "sorry, please send more information" email). If we really don't like a section link (or if we're concerned someone may change the section name) we could also link to a particular span id on the page. Let me know if you'd prefer that. &ndash; <span style="font-family: Garamond">[[User:Luna Santin|<span style="color:#1E90FF;">'''Luna Santin'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Luna Santin|talk]])</span> 02:28, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

== Problem with the e-mail us link: ==
{{tl|editprotected}}

Hi, the e-mail us link leads to editing the sandbox, is that on purpose, or is there some mistake there?
Thanks! --[[User:HAL2008|HAL2008]] <small>[[User_talk:HAL2008|talk]]</small> 03:54, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
:Deliberate. The blocked anon tries to edit the sandbox and gets the 'you are blocked' message which contains all the information necessary to email to the unblock list (anonblock doesn't know the information itself, because it's a template and not an interface message). --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 16:53, 19 June 2007 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])
::OK, that's fine. I just wanted to make sure that it ''was'' on purpose. Thanks for helping! --[[User:HAL2008|HAL2008]] <small>[[User_talk:HAL2008|talk]]</small> 14:18, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

::: I am not sure it works like that. I tried it right now to check it. It goes to a page with some strange information (right now it is about '''RJ RON JOSEPH''', it is a sandbox afterall and may change evry second). A new user would see that and I really doubt would understand what we want him/her to do. It seems confusing. Also we say "follow the instructions under the Emailing us section", I don't see such section there at all. [[User:Farmanesh|Farmanesh]] ([[User talk:Farmanesh|talk]]) 02:49, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
::::That's because you can edit it. The people here are saying that if you were blocked from editing, you would see an 'email us' section rather than the actual edit page. Still seems a funny way of doing it though IMO. -- [[User:Cowplopmorris|<span style="color:#E28A16;">Cowplopmorris</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Cowplopmorris|Talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Cowplopmorris|Contribs]]</sub> 15:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== Anonymous user -> unregistered user ==

{{tlf|editprotect}}
As per
* [[WP:HUMAN]],
* [[WP:IP]],
* [[WP:ANONYMOUS]],
* [[WP:IP edits are not anonymous]] and
* [[Meta:Unregistered user]].

I think referring to unregistered users as "anonymous users" is incorrect and confusing. Registered users who do not adopt their real name as their username are also anonymous. In fact, registered users are arguably ''more'' anonymous, since their IP address is hidden.

Also, the phrases "anonymous user" or "anon" are often used in a discriminatory way by editors who do not fully appreciate (yet) the value and potential of unregistered users.

In the spirit of calling a spade a spade, please change "anonymous users" in this template to "unregistered users". Thank you. [[Special:Contributions/220.100.118.232|220.100.118.232]] ([[User talk:220.100.118.232|talk]]) 21:10, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

::No worries about not making the change, but being a picky linguist, "a username" is correct in American and Canadian English while "an username" is accurate in Indian English.
