Parameters

• master – if the name of the blocked sock puppet's sockmaster account is known, use |master=accountname to specify that.
• suspected=yes – if the account was blocked as a suspected sock puppet, use |suspected=yes. Note that if the masterblock parameter (see below) is set to yes, this parameter can't be used.
• blocked=yes – if the blocked sock puppet's sockmaster account currently was blocked or banned at the time the sock puppet account was blocked, use |blocked=yes. This also changes the background color to lightblue by default. Please note that if the masterblock parameter (see below) is set to yes, this parameter should not be used.
• notalk=yes – if the blocked sock puppet's talk page access was also removed, use |notalk=yes.
• color – if you don't want the default background colors, you can use |color=hexadecimal color code / color name.

• masterblock=yes – if the message is about the sockmaster being blocked for sock puppetry, use |masterblock=yes.
• period – if the masterblock parameter is set to "yes", |period=period can be used to specify the block length of the sockmaster account. By default it shows "You have been blocked temporarily".
• evidence – if the masterblock parameter is set to "yes", |evidence=evidence has to be added. Add a link to the evidence proving the sockmaster has operated multiple accounts.

• sig=yes – if you want to sign the template, use |sig=yes.
