Wikipedia talk:Standard offer#Proposal for this to finally become a guideline

I was confused by the section "Note for blocked users": it seems to contradict the current banning policy that it references, which states "Exception: A third-party block review that results in a normal administrator block being endorsed is not converted into a community ban." This is apparently the result of an RfC that occurred after (this essay's) paragraph was last touched.

Unless there is some subtlety in this doctrine that I have overlooked, it seems like this paragraph is outdated and should be removed.

In the variations section, it says banned users must make contributions to other WMF projects. It does not say blocked users so is contributing to other WMF projects required for blocked but not banned users. Zxcv6666 (talk) 21:38, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Some users are blocked for 182 days when six months is selected by the admin and some users are blocked for 184 days when six months is selected by the admin. If the standard offer is six months, how many days is it exactly? 1.129.110.121 (talk) 00:52, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

:181 days and 183 days are also options when six months is selected on MediaWiki block duration. Jumbe (talk) 19:19, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm one of the few who thinks it's unnecessary. I get it users may have to wait simply reflect on their actions, but I think this is too strict of a essay. Personally, my suggestion is to remove this, so users wouldn't have to wait 6 months. Or at the very least, you can simply decrease the wait time.
