Sock has been blocked based on CheckUser evidence: {{Sockpuppet|Master account|confirmed}}.

For sockmasters, use {{Sockpuppeteer}}.

Parameters

The first parameter in this table is required and the template will fail without it. All the other parameters are optional.

Parameter(s)	Values	Notes
First positional parameter (optionally `\|1=`)	Username of the sockmaster or suspected sockmaster	Just include the name, no "User:" or square brackets.
Second positional parameter (optionally `\|2=`)	`spi` `blocked` `proven` `confirmed` `cuconfirmed` `nbconfirmed`	`blocked` - this is used for sockpuppets that have been blocked on behavioural evidence (the duck test) or behavioural evidence combined with a non-conclusive CU result (such as Possible). `proven` - Behaviour is beyond reasonable doubt but there is no CU Confirmed result (CU may have given a different result). `confirmed`, `cuconfirmed` and `nbconfirmed` - A CU has Confirmed that the accounts are related.
Third positional parameter (optionally `\|3=`) `\|evidence=`	Evidence of sockpuppetry	This field can be used to link to the evidence of sockpuppetry, or to give a very brief summary (a couple of words). If this parameter is left blank and the sockpuppet investigation case page is a blue link, then a link to the case page is provided automatically.
`\|spipage=`	Subpage name (just the master) of the SPI if not the same as the master	This field can be used to specify a different SPI page if the page is not named for the master in parameter 1.
`\|locked=`	`yes`	Use `\|locked=yes` if the account is globally locked.
`\|notblocked=`	`yes`	This parameter can be used to remove the note about the account being blocked, such as if an account is globally locked as a sockpuppet, but has not been blocked locally. This parameter works with all parameters.
`\|length=`	Length of time the sockpuppet or suspected sockpuppet was blocked	Use this field if the sockpuppet or suspected sockpuppet was blocked for a specific length of time. This parameter defaults to "indefinitely". This parameter is ignored, and does not default to indefinitely, if `nbconfirmed` is used.
`\|cat=` `\|category=`	Custom category name for the sockpuppet or suspected sockpuppet	This parameter defaults to the category "Wikipedia sockpuppets of X" if the second positional parameter is set to "confirmed", and "Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of X" if the second positional parameter is set to anything else. Here, "X" is the username specified in the first positional parameter.
`\|nocat=`	Suppresses categorization of the page	When set to `nocat=1`, the page will not be categorized. Should only be used in test or example uses of the template.

Deprecated parameters

Use of this template with the second positional parameter suspected or spi or without any second positional parameter will produce

An editor has expressed a concern that this account may be a sockpuppet of Example (talk · contribs · logs).

The template should not be used in this manner, as Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry#Handling suspected sock puppets mandates that only blocked accounts be tagged as sockpuppets.
