<section begin="announcement-content" />
Hey! I'm the Master of Hedgehogs, and I'm suggesting a special role, '''Blocker''', for trusted users to be able to block other users. Think like Rollback, but for blocking instead of the rollback function. [[User:The Master of Hedgehogs|The Master of Hedgehogs]] ([[User talk:The Master of Hedgehogs|talk]]) 13:57, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

::Nope, this wiki does not have such a role and I'm quite skeptical to having one as well, given that this wiki is not that large and gaining adminship here is generally easy (since we basically promote anyone who is an admin at a larger wiki and is active here at Meta). Some wikis have step-down permissions, such as "eliminator", which does allow blocking, but for this wiki the only way to get access to the blocking tool is an RfA. <b>[[User:EPIC|<span style="color:blue">EPIC</span>]] ([[User talk:EPIC|<span style="color:green">talk</span>]])</b> 14:05, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear all,
{{comment}} I don't like floated requests like this without a user case and a realistic justification.<p>Why is this request being made? How are the current blocks currently not working? What are all the mechanics that you think should be in place? Please write a proper RfD and present your case and have a little courtesy to the community. &nbsp;— [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 11:18, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
: Basically, I was asking for a role called "blocker" to allow users with the special permission to block other users, as things like pending changes reviewer, rollback, and page mover exist. Admins can use those tools, and the blocker role acts as one of those types of roles.

== Installing the Dark mode gadget on Meta ==
I'd like to install the dark mode gadget here, currently mainly used on en:wp, for those who want to try it. It won't affect anyone who doesn't opt in to using it.


The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members were invited to submit their applications for the U4C.
