and if the edit is repeated, the user who the warning was given to may be blocked. You may cut and paste the three main reasons above or just write a new one. This warning template should only be used by [[The Sims Wiki:Administrators|administrators]]; other editors should simply leave a polite note on the offending editor's talk page, and if anybody but an admin uses the warning box, '''they'll be given a warning also''', but if repeated, they'll not be blocked. |
||
'''Update -''' In response to [[The_Sims_Wiki_talk:Admin_Portal#Warnings|this discussion]] and [[The_Sims_Wiki_talk:Admin_Portal#Decomission_the_1_week_rule_for_warnings|this discussion]], the requirement that users keep a warning on their user talk page has been removed. ''Users who remove warnings from their user pages should not receive a warning or block for doing so,'' as forcing a user to keep a warning on their page is a "badge of shame," which should be avoided. |
|||
Rather than keeping track of warnings, an administrator issuing a warning should write an appropriate edit summary which will be available in the page history. This summary should include a description of the offense(s) behind the warning, and (if possible) a link to the policy in question (wiki linking is enabled in summaries). This way, an admin can easily check the edit history of a user to see when they were warned and what they were warned for, even if the warning is no longer on the current revision of the page. |
|||
Warnings issued to unregistered contributors should be removed within a few weeks of issuance, if the contributor becomes inactive and the warning is still on their page. |
