Suggestion

Could someone change the text of this template to "This template is only to be used by Administrators. If you use this template, and are not an administrator, you will be warned and may receive a block from the wiki"?

It's been that way for a long time. I see no reason why it should be changed. In-fact, I actually think it's more accurate the way it is since not every user that uses an admin only template gets warned before they are blocked. Users that are already on their last legs that use admin only templates may be blocked without further warning, especially if it's clear that the user has no interest in changing their behaviour. Most users that have already been warned previously that use admin only templates are perfectly aware that they are not allowed to use them, so they may not necessarily be given a warning before they are blocked. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 06:43, February 26, 2017 (UTC)

I think we should change it to "This template is only to be used by Administrators. If you use this template, and are not an administrator, you will be either be warned or receive a block from the wiki".

I gave the template a tweak yesterday to reflect the fact that a user may not necessarily be warned for using the template if they've already received their last warning before they are blocked. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 00:44, March 1, 2017 (UTC)
