Template:Warning

Place this template on editors' talk pages to warn them of violating Inkipedia's policy. Keep in mind that one should avoid templating the regulars.

This template must be substituted. The template will also automatically place your signature, so do not sign this warning as you normally would a message.

Also see the blocked template.

Syntax

Type {{subst:warning}} in a new section on an editor's talk page.

The template also accepts an optional parameter for the reason for the warning: {{subst:warning|reason}}. This should be used whenever possible.

Numbers or keywords can be used to quickly include a reason. Most reason numbers are from the 7 NOs of Inkipedia. The following reason codes are available:

• 1 or vandal : vandalizing or negatively changing articles
• 2 or content : inappropriate language, content, links, or discussions
• 3 or bully : harassment, intimidation, or bullying other users
• 4 or power : abusing your available powers
• 5 or account : abusing multiple accounts
• 6 or ad : advertising external services, websites, entities, etc.
• 7 or personal : revealing personal information
• 8 or edit war : reverting someone's edit more than three times (edit warring)
