Description

Author: number24602

For the originally floated idea, that would mean WP admins could set something like:

in a user talkpage to avoid constant edit-warring (or endless debate about guideline about) removing/readding active block messages. An additional use might be in [[Template:Lu]], where this same logic could be used to display an icon or other status indicator. This would be useful in sock-puppet and related abuse discussions to reveal at a glance the status of the account(s) being discussed.

It should be {{ISBLOCKED:USERNAME}}, not with "#".
