There is no discussion link, because Bbb23 is no longer an admin and is retired.{{pb}}I was looking at usages of [[Template:Uw-botuhblock]], and I was very surprised to see a usage of it on [[User talk:IotaSigmaRho]], because the username doesn't have the word "bot" in it. I assume that the deleted contents of the userpage [[User:IotaSigmaRho]] are the reason for the block (it was deleted for {{tq|1=U5: Misuse of Wikipedia as a web host: G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion in userspace}}), and it was just a simple mistake when the block reason was chosen. —⁠[[User:Andrybak|andrybak]] ([[User talk:Andrybak|talk]]) 02:18, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

:Assuming this was intended as a <nowiki>{{spamusername}}</nowiki> and may have been a misclick. While I wouldn't have blocked for that userpage, it does fit the definition. I don't think we need a thread here since BBB23's blocks have been otherwise addressed. Any admin is welcome to modify or unblock as they see fit.

{{yo|Andrybak}} If you get the chance, would you mind clarifying what action you're seeking? Is this editor looking for an unblock? -- [[User:Euryalus|Euryalus]] ([[User talk:Euryalus|talk]]) 04:46, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

:To modify the block that is blatantly incorrect. —⁠[[User:Andrybak|andrybak]] ([[User talk:Andrybak|talk]]) 09:12, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
::So you're looking for it to be reversed? Has the user asked to be unblocked? If not, why have you brought this up? [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot|talk]]) 09:17, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
:::To replace it with a block that has a valid reason. Not to reverse it. Did I use the word "modify" incorrectly in this context? —⁠[[User:Andrybak|andrybak]] ([[User talk:Andrybak|talk]]) 09:21, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
::I don't know how much difference that makes, but I've changed it to promo name hard block instead.
::I agree with Star Mississippi, it was probably a misclick, since the two block reasons are next to each other on Twinkle. -- [[User:DoubleGrazing|DoubleGrazing]] ([[User talk:DoubleGrazing|talk]]) 09:21, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
: I thought that the problem I reported was obvious, but other users were double checking for clarification and even [[User:DoubleGrazing|DoubleGrazing]], who fixed the problem, qualified it with {{tq|I don't know how much difference that makes}}. Was this report an inappropriate use of this venue? —⁠[[User:Andrybak|andrybak]] ([[User talk:Andrybak|talk]]) 09:50, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
::I think you could have take this to AN, assuming it needed taking anywhere, if all you wanted was a simple 'clerical' admin action. (Others may have different views.) -- [[User:DoubleGrazing|DoubleGrazing]] ([[User talk:DoubleGrazing|talk]]) 09:56, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
:::I concur with DoubleGrazing; you didn't necessarily disagree that a block was generally incorrect, you just wanted the reason adjusted; I'm not sure it was necessary either(it could have been addressed if and when the user asked to be unblocked), but it's all good now.

:::It's probably better overall if this board does has a decent number of low stake, "nobody's getting desysopped but yes this admin action should be overturned"-style posts. Makes it easier for non-regulars to raise genuine concerns if they see the bar's pretty low, makes it easy to regulars to !vote to overturn an action without feeling the need to escalate further, which could limit counterproductive kneejerk defenses to poor actions.
