Template:Warning/doc

Warning

This template is specifically intended for use by Administrators Only. Use of this template by non-administrators is a blockable offense.

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 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

Blanking articles or sections	blank	blank1	blank2	blank3

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=~~~~}}
