Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button
located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you.
Template documentation | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Uw-tilde}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
How to use:
{{subst:Uw-tilde}}{{subst:Uw-tilde|Page name}}references a specific Page name{{subst:Uw-tilde|Page name|Additional text}}adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you"{{subst:Uw-tilde||Additional text}}or{{subst:Uw-tilde|2=Additional text}}also adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you", but doesn't link a page as specified by the Page name.
- Please remember to substitute the template using
{{subst:Uw-tilde}}rather than{{Uw-tilde}}. - To give greater detail to your message, you may add the Page name and some additional text to the end of the template. If such Page name or additional text includes a URL or anything which includes an equal sign ("="), it may break the parser's function unless you prefix the Page name or the text with a named template parameter. Use "
1=" if the Page name contains an equals sign and use "2=" if the additional text contains an equals sign (such as a URL). - Please refer to the index of message 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.
- This template automatically populates the relevant category with the user page. If and when the user account gets blocked, or approximately eight weeks pass with no further action, that categorization is automatically removed.
- This standardized template conforms to guidelines by the user warnings project. You may discuss the visual appearance of these standardized templates (e.g. the image in the top-left corner) at the user warning talk page.
- This is the documentation for the {{Single notice}} standardized template, as used by several single-level user warnings or notice templates. It is located at Template:Single notice/inner(edit talk links history).
