This is clunky:

"Please note that there could be appeals to the Unblock Ticket Request System that have been declined leading to the posting of this notice."

Can we change it to:

“This notice may have been posted because appeals to the Unblock Ticket Request System were declined.”

Can you link the template you are referencing?--v/r - TP 00:46, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Probably Template:Blocked talk-revoked-notice. –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:38, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the language is better than what is there already, but I would suggest that @Dreameditsbrooklyn: make the request on that template's talk page as a protected edit request.--v/r - TP 03:45, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I went to go make the edit just now, but decided that I like the old wording better. I feel the new wording more strongly suggests that TPA was revoked because of UTRS, whereas the old wording merely states that it's a possibility that TPA was revoked because of UTRS. So I must mildly oppose this proposal.

I do still think the existing wording needs improvement though. Why would someone who hasn't had TPA revoked be using UTRS in the first place? Would be good to explain that. –Novem Linguae (talk) 04:36, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes there are underlying IP blocks that aren't on the account but do have "block accounts from this IP" checked. Usually proxies. Not that that is relevant to the template, but to answer your question.--v/r - TP 05:29, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

for maintenance. Perhaps 24-48 hours. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:27, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On the Wikipedia:Unblock Ticket Request System there seems to be a glitch. When you go to https://utrs-beta.wmflabs.org/public/appeal/account it says: "On the next page, you will be issued a Appeal Key. Keep it in a safe place. If you forget it, you are able to recover it, but only if your Wikimedia Account has a valid email address. DO NOT SHARE this key with anyone."

I actually tried opening an appeal this way, but I lost my appeal key - it did not save in the notepad text file I tried to paste it into. So when I went back and try to find a "Recover Appeal Key" link or guide nothing existed - similar to how you try to login to Gmail for example and they have a forget password link. I could not find anything for the appeal key so I never figured out how to get my appeal key back eventhough the website indicates there is a way but does not explain how or provide a link (maybe its there I just overlooked it). -4vryng ^talk 13:14, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you could edit this page, you aren't blocked. This isn't the page to make inquiries as to a block- this is for discussing the operation of the unblock ticket system. Please direct further questions to the Help Desk. If you are blocked, there should be instructions provided on your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 08:14, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
