As far as I'm aware, all wikis use the term "block" instead of "ban". I'm not exactly sure why, but that's the way it is, so that's the term this template should use. Also, specifying the block as "temp" is not really necessary; indefinite/infinite blocks generally aren't handed out in cases where this template is relevant, and just knowing that a user was blocked is enough (you don't really need to know it was a temporary block).

:I don't really care what other wikis call it in passing in policies.  User was temp banned for this post is what I usually see in forums.  And it is always possible that someone finally crosses the line and gets the permas.  Also, considering I'm basically the only one who will regularly use this, I think my language is fine.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 01:56, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

::While it's true that wikis use "block" and forums use "ban", "block" is wiki-specific terminology, whereas "ban" has a very clear and strong meaning, even to people who are new to wikis, and is therefore the better choice.
