Other behavior: see Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace.

Warning templates should 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:uw-vandalism1}}~~~~ (not {{uw-vandalism1}}) to warn common first-time vandals.

The levels of templates are:

  1. Assumes good faith
  2. No faith assumption
  3. Assumes bad faith; stern cease and desist
  4. Assumes bad faith; strong cease and desist, last warning

[edit] Duplicate

Isn't this just a duplicate of {{test}}? --Alan Au 15:19, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Oh, I see, it's a redirect. There are an awful lot of these test messages floating around now. --Alan Au 15:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Should this be a redirect?

Should this template revert to a redirect to {{test}}? The current text is a duplicate of older revisions of {{test}}, which were awkwardly worded. A redirect will help to sync it back up for good. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wording is good faith no-no

"Test of deliberately adding incorrect information" violates good faith as well as logic- if it's a test, then they weren't really intending for the incorrect information to be present in the final version of the article, and besides, how do you know they know the information is incorrect? -Toptomcat 01:44, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Although I use this warning template, I feel it is superficially polite. It is thanking a vandal for doing something malicious. - Gilliam 19:57, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Agreed! this wording is terrible and should be changed immediately. --ElectricEye (talk) 10:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
