This template should only be used to block an IP address under one circumstance: a system administrator or other ranking technical officer from a school or business has requested that their IP address be blocked to prevent abuse from their network, and the identity of that person has been verified. Generally, this is done by an email sent to an administrator or the Functionaries-en mailing list ({{NoSpamEmail|functionaries-en|lists.wikimedia.org}}) or OTRS ({{NoSpamEmail|info-en|wikimedia.org}}) from an address issued by the technical officer's school or business. Requests of this nature made on-wiki should not be honored, as it is not possible to verify the technical officer's identity on this website.

When to use

This template should only be used to block an IP address under one circumstance: a system administrator or other ranking technical officer from a school or business has requested that their IP address be blocked to prevent abuse from their network, and the identity of that person has been verified. Generally, this is done by an email sent to an administrator or the Functionaries-en mailing list (Template:NoSpamEmail) or OTRS (Template:NoSpamEmail) from an address issued by the technical officer's school or business. Requests of this nature made on-wiki should not be honored, as it is not possible to verify the technical officer's identity on this website.

IP addresses blocked in this manner may be blocked indefinitely, and should be set to affect anonymous editing only and disable account creation.
