These templates should pretty much 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:test}}, not {{test}} to warn common first-time vandals.

For a full list of warning and test templates, see Template:TestTemplates. For a list of all userspace templates with explanations, see Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace.
