Hello. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Otherwise, people might consider your edits to be vandalism. Thank you.
| Vandalism: {{uw-vandalism1}}, {{uw-vandalism2}}, {{uw-vandalism3}}, {{uw-vandalism4}}, {{uw-vandalism4im}} |
| Content removal: {{uw-delete1}}, {{uw-delete2}}, {{uw-delete3}}, {{uw-delete4}} |
| Testing: {{uw-test1}}, {{uw-test2}}, {{uw-test3}}, {{uw-test4}} |
| Spam linking: {{uw-spam1}}, {{uw-spam2}}, {{uw-spam3}}, {{uw-spam4}} |
| Other behavior: see Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. |
Warning templates should
always be used with the "subst:" keyword, as strongly suggested on
Wikipedia:Template substitution. They are shown without subst here to reduce the display space occupied by this table, not to encourage their use without subst. For example, type
{{subst:uw-vandalism1}}~~~~ (not {{uw-vandalism1}}) to warn common first-time vandals.
The levels of templates are:
- Assumes good faith
- No faith assumption
- Assumes bad faith; stern cease and desist
- Assumes bad faith; strong cease and desist, last warning

- *You can use {{subst:Test0|Article|subst=subst:}} to substitute the contained ParserFunctions.
 | Template usage notes - See documentation.
- Most test(n) templates take a single optional parameter: the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning.
- test5 optionally takes two parameters:
- The first is the duration of the block (with "temporarily blocked" as the default if a specific period is not provided).
- The second is the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning.
- Please refer to the index of test templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
- Please remember to substitute the template—use {{subst:Test0}} rather than {{Test0}}.
