This template is a convenient, standardised method of notifying an editor that they have had community sanctions imposed on them. Only uninvolved administrators may sanction another editor under the terms of community-issued general sanctions, and sanctions should be given in accordance with the procedure at Wikipedia:General sanctions.

The template requires three parameters:

{{subst:Community sanction
| sanction   = <description of sanction imposed on recipient of notice>
| rationale  = <reason for this sanction>
| topic      = Topic code (below)
}}

A blank copy of the template is below, so you do not have to delete the explanatory text from the above:

{{subst:Community sanction
|
|
|
}}

You don't have to declare the parameter names – only their values – but you can if you so wish (and may have to, if supplying tricky values):

Remember you need to use this template in a "new message" on user talk pages; because no header is provided by this template, when you use it you will have to enter a subject man. The template must always be substituted. Your signature is automatically included.
