You have been sanctioned edit
 | The following sanction has been applied to you:
You have been sanctioned no reason given This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the arbitration committee at no decision link provided. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions for that topic. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions. You may appeal this sanction by following the instructions here. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. |

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):
{{subst:Community sanction
| sanction =
| rationale =
| topic =
}}
|
{{subst:Community sanction
| 1 =
| 2 =
| 3 =
}}
|
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.
