For article talk template messages, see Wikipedia:Template messages/Talk namespace. For items commending users about behavior or contributions, see Wikipedia:Barnstars. These templates replace those at the deprecated Template:TestTemplates.
Shortcuts

These templates are placed on talk pages to warn a user against vandalism, convey a standardised message, or to place a standard boilerplate note at the top of a page. You are responsible for ensuring that the template's text is appropriate to the violation: if the template's tone isn't appropriate, don't use the template. They are not a formal system that you have to use: they are a shortcut to typing, nothing more. If you cannot find a template that says what you want to say then go ahead and say it normally.

They are split into two groups of warnings: single issue templates, which are one off messages usually to provide information hints and tips, and multi-level warnings are usually issued for edits that in one form or other do not meet Wikipedia's criteria or policies and can be issued with varying levels of severity. On the top of each table is a link to a details page for both sets of warnings.

Remember:
  • Always substitute messages by adding "subst:" before the name of the template, so that the message does not change from what the user originally saw and perhaps responded to, and
  • try to give the level of the template you have used (and preferably the name: for example, "error3", "v2", "d1") in your edit summary, so that other users know what templates have been used.

If you want to change the name of a series, or propose a new multi-level series, make sure to leave a note about it on WT:UTM, so that it can be fully integrated as a warning template, if there are no major objections. Before creating new templates, please check to see if the template in mind already exists, to avoid duplication. Note: User warning templates are generally semi-protected. However, creation of a template does not automatically semi-protect it; be sure to request semi-protection. In the meantime, make sure the template does not erroneously indicate that it is already semi-protected.

Layout:
  • Warnings should be grouped by date under the heading "Warnings". Note: If there have been multiple warnings, add the template {{s/wnote}} (or {{repeatvandal}} if the account has been repeatedly blocked) at the top of the Warnings section.
  • User warnings and block messages should be placed without line breaks.
  • Old warnings may be archived into page history when they are no longer useful. Give consideration to the IP's contribution history when deciding how long to leave warnings visible. Always note the archiving of old warnings. In the case of registered vandals, archiving is up to them.

History of this page

edit

In early 2007, the multi-level templates underwent a harmonisation program by the WikiProject user warnings. The old template grid may still be found here with the details here. Please visit the project pages, for some important changes about the implementation of these templates, especially the test templates and the new vandalism warnings.
