- Warning
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.
- Usage
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.
The text of the template is determined based on the <type> 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.
- Full warning code
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:
{{Subst:Warning
|type =
|custom =
|other =
|sig = ~~~~
}}
- Syntax
The base syntax of this warning is:
- {{Subst:Warning|sig=~~~~}}
There is one truly optional parameter, <other>. Adding this to the template 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:
- {{Subst:Warning|other=<your typed text>|sig=~~~~}}
Depending on the message and severity intended, different entries can be made to the <type> 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:
- {{Subst:Warning|type=<type>|sig=~~~~}}
Warning type | Level 0 parameter | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Vandalism | vandal | vandal1 | vandal2 | vandal3 |
Blanking articles or sections | blank | blank1 | blank2 | blank3 |
Removing information from an article | remove | remove1 | remove2 | remove3 |
Inserting false information | false | false1 | false2 | - |
Violation of File/Copyright policy | file | file1 | file2 | file3 |
Disorderly behavior, Edit warring, personal attacks, etc. | disrupt | - | - | - |
Suspected Sockpuppetry | sock | - | - | - |
Custom entry (see below) | custom | - | - | - |
- Custom Entries
If none of the prewritten messages suits your needs, you can enter a customized warning message. To do this, add 'custom' to the <type> parameter field, and type out your warning in the <custom> parameter, as shown:
- {{Subst:Warning|type=custom|custom=<Your typed text>|sig=~~~~}}
- Restrictions
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.
- Other information
- The pre-written warning text can be found and edited at {{Warning-text}}.
- Remember that this is a substituted template!
- The old warning template, which is now retired, can be found at {{OldWarning}}. Please refrain from using the retired warning template.
- Please discuss additions or changes to this template on the talk page or on the admin portal talk page.
