From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please don't accuse editors of
vandalism unless you're sure they have committed it. In particular, avoid using the word in edit summaries (such as "reverting vandalism"), and be very careful about posting
vandalism warning templates on user's talkpages. Review the
vandalism policy thoroughly before you do that, and see especially the section
"What vandalism is not". Note that content disputes are not vandalism, and that good-faith edits of any kind, even if you think them misguided, are not to be considered vandalism. Vandalism accusations without any basis in policy are bad for the climate on the wiki and make constructive discussion more difficult. See also
Wikipedia:Avoid the word "vandal".

Template usage notes
- See documentation.
- Most test(n) templates take a single optional parameter: the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning.
- test5 optionally takes two parameters:
- The first is the duration of the block (with "temporarily blocked" as the default if a specific period is not provided).
- The second is the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning.
- Please refer to the index of test 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—use {{subst:Vandalism warning warning}} rather than {{Vandalism warning warning}}.
