Template:Warning/doc

This template is specifically intended for use by Administrators and Rollbackers Only. Use of this template by other users is a blockable offense. Note that Rollbackers are limited to issuing Level 1 or Level 2 warnings only.
 * Warning

This is a general purpose notification and warning template to be used on user talk pages, for those users who have broken any of The Sims Wiki's Policies.
 * Usage

The text of the template is determined based on the parameter selected (see below). By default, a non-threatening notice is used, which cautions against inappropriate edits in the future. The template can be customized by the administrator using it, or the administrator/rollbacker can choose one of several warning messages of varying message and severity, depending on the circumstances.

The following can be copy-pasted onto a talk page, with the parameters filled in. See Syntax below to see which parameters are optional and which are mandatory: The base syntax of this warning is:
 * Full warning code
 * Syntax



There are two optional parameters. The parameter will allow you to add additional custom text under the body of the warning, but above the standardized text that appears at the bottom of the warning itself. To use this parameter, enter:



The second optional parameter, , should be filled in if the warning is being placed on an unregistered user's talk page. Filling  with any non-blank text will trigger an additional message in the template's boilerplate.

Depending on the message and severity intended, different entries can be made to the parameter. Note that all entries are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown, into the type parameter in the template, such that the template will look like:



If none of the prewritten messages suits your needs, you can enter a customized warning message. To do this, add 'custom' to the parameter field, and type out your warning in the parameter, as shown:
 * Custom Entries



Based on an administrative discussion, rollbackers are allowed to issue warnings to users. However, rollbackers may only issue Level 1 warnings, and only for the following types: Vandalism, Blanking articles or sections, Removing information from an article, Inserting false information, and Violation of Copyright Policy. If a user has already been warned using a Level 1 warning, a rollbacker may issue a Level 2 warning, on the condition that they also notify a member of the administrative team about the user and their edits. Rollbackers may issue custom warnings, but these warnings cannot indicate that a user will be blocked for failing to heed the warning.
