Template:Contentious topics/aware/doc

This template allows a user to signal their awareness of the contentious topics system, so that it is not necessary to warn them using {{alert}}. This possibility was enacted by motion of the Arbitration Committee in July 2019.

Usage

Towards the top of your own talk page, add:

{{Contentious topics/aware|topic_code}}

where topic_code identifies the contentious topic(s) for which you assert awareness, and thus waive the need for notice.

You can specify multiple topics; select them from the full list of topic codes. For example:

{{Contentious topics/aware|ap|e-e|gg}}

displays

Then, if another editor tries to alert you about one of these topics being a contentious topic, they will see:

It is not necessary to notify this user about the following topics being contentious topics:

The user has indicated that they are already aware using the template {{Contentious topics/aware}} on their talk page.

within the output of Special:AbuseFilter/602, Mediawiki:Abusefilter-warning-CT.
