{{interface explanation|1=[[Template:Blocked text]] is the standardized message shown when a blocked user attempts to edit Wikipedia.

== Edit request for dark mode compatibility ==

{{edit fully-protected| Template:Blocked text|answered=yes}}
In [[:Template:Blocked text]], please change

<syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext><div style="padding:10px; background:var(--color-base, white); border:1px #666 solid;"></syntaxhighlight>

to

<syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext><div style="padding:10px; border:1px #666 solid;"></syntaxhighlight>

This is because when a template such as {{tl|Zombie proxy}} or {{tl|Blocked proxy}} is transcluded inside (as people do in block messages), it clashes harshly with the set background colour in dark mode. —'''Matrix(!)''' <nowiki>{</nowiki>''[[User:Matrix|user]] - [[User talk:Matrix|talk?]] - [[Special:Contribs/Matrix|<sub><small><s>useless</s></small></sub>contributions]]''<nowiki>}</nowiki> 09:50, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

I've [[special:diff/1241822083/1242192966|updated the sandbox]] to use this styling; and looking at the [[template:blocked text/testcases|/testcases]] in dark mode, it seems to resolve the issue of the harsh color clash, while maintaining a visual distinction between the block-reason box and the rest of the template (as the {{code|background:white|lang=css}} rule previously did).

Rationale: To trim whitespaces appearing in the block message, and to remove lint caused by excessive linebreaks.

:: No worries. I created a script that would attempt to make making edit requests earlier. And, yeah there are still bugs. I just fixed a couple, but the change I do want is to [[MediaWiki:Autoblockedtext]] according to the diff that was posted above.

::: {{done}} This script IMO hurts more than it helps - it makes the edit request take much more markup than just writing your changes in words, and also it doesn't appear styled correctly unless your changing it as part of a diff. But the bad presentation aside the actual change requested is reasonable, so here we go.
