You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 50.17.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:21, 2 April 2025. Your current IP address is 50.17.73.84.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== Embed inside another infobox ==
The trail infobox can be embedded inside another infobox for seamless display of info. For example, a trail that is also a protected area, such as the [[Kal-Haven Trail]]. See the [[Template:Infobox trail/testcases|testcases]] for more examples.

=== Inserting the trail infobox inside the parent infobox ===
The trail infobox can only be inserted after certain field values of the parent template. Specifically, only after fields whose values are not passed to another template by the parent templates source code. In other words, the parent templates source code for the field has to output the fields' value without passing it to a template. This may require examining the parent templates source code. It is ok to insert after field values that contain internal <code>[[]]</code> and external links <code>[]</code>.<br />
Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{| style="float:right; clear:right; border:0; margin:-0.5em 0 0 0;"
|-
|{{Infobox protected area
| name = Kal-Haven Trail
...
| governing_body = <div>[[Michigan Department of Natural Resources]]</div>
{{Infobox trail
  | embed = yes
  | cellstyle = padding:0.1em 0.3em;
  | name = Kal-Haven Trail
  | length = {{convert|34.5|mi|km|1}}
...
  }}
}}
|}
</syntaxhighlight>
Note the &lt;div&gt; tag surrounding the governing_body wiki link. It is needed to reduce the vertical spacing between the governing_body field and the first hiking trail field, in this case, length.

=== Parent infobox encapsulation ===
The parent infobox needs to be encapsulated in a table as in the above example.
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{| style="float:right; clear:right; border:0; margin:-0.5em 0 0 0;"
|-
|(parent infobox)
|}
</syntaxhighlight>

== Parameters ==
{| class="wikitable"
! style="width: 14%" | Field name || Description
|-
|<code>embed</code> || Set to <code>embed = yes</code> when embedding inside another Infobox.
|-
|<code>cellstyle</code> || Set to a class/style that matches the outer Infoboxes cell class/style so that the columns line up properly. Example for using with {{tl|Infobox protected area}}:<br /><code>cellstyle = padding:0.1em 0.3em;</code>
|-
|<code>title</code> || A first colored header before the main infobox, used when embedded, to show the trail name
|}
