Template:Uw-hoax
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please do not create hoaxes. Please do not attempt to put misinformation into Wikipedia to test our ability to detect and remove it. This has been done before, with varying results. Most hoaxes are marked for deletion within a few hours after they are created. Some Wikipedians suspect that the majority of hoaxes here are attempts to test the system. Kindly — do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method is to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia, and then to check to see how long they have been in place and, if possible, correct them. Thank you.
Usage:
{{subst:uw-hoax}}{{subst:uw-hoax|Article}}references a specific article{{subst:uw-hoax|Article|Additional text}}adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you"
- This template has been carefully designed based on guidelines by the user warnings project.
- Please discuss the general visual appearance of these templates (for example, the image in the top-left corner) on the user warning talk page.
- 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.
- Please remember to substitute the template using
{{subst:uw-hoax}}rather than{{uw-hoax}}. - This template uses a parser function. To give greater detail to your message, you may add the article name and some additional text to the end of the template.
- Optionally, add
|subst=subst:to the end of the template to reduce the code in the final output:
{{subst:uw-hoax|Article|Additional text|subst=subst:}}- This should however only be done if you use the Article parameter of the template. There is a currently investigated bug on the MediaWiki software that breaks the template if you omit this parameter and use
|subst=subst:.
