This category allows administrators to quickly locate current requests for unblock from blocked users; these requests may come from users if they are suffering from collateral damage caused by an unrelated block, or from users who would like a block removed or reduced.

If you are a blocked user who would like to be unblocked, place the {{tl|unblock}} template on your user talk page, accompanied with a reason. If you are unable to do that for some reason, fill out the form provided by the Wikipedia Unblock Ticket Request System. More information can be found in the Guide to appealing blocks.

{{collapse top|Information for administrators}}

Per the blocking policy and block appeals guidelines, unless exceptional or expedient circumstances apply, administrators should not unblock a user without prior discussion with the blocking admin, nor should they review an unblock request where they have a conflict of interest, whether by having set the original block or by participating in disputes relating to it. Administrators also must not review any requests or lift any block marked {{checkuserblock}} ; other unblock requests which should be left for consideration only by CheckUsers are range blocks, and those concerning blocks for sockpuppetry.

In general, an unblock request should be removed and replaced with an appropriate response, when unblocking or reviewing a block.
