I was just searching [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_Wiki The Kingdom of Hearts Wiki] and noticed they have a [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Warning warning template]. It seems like a good idea, and I was wondering if I'd have permission to make one. I already know how to (stole the thing from the Kingdom of Hearts Wiki :D), and like I said before, it seems like a good idea. What do you think?

Actually, I disagree with that. Someone who does serious vandalism should be blocked without warning. Giving them a warning will only encourage them to do more vandalism. --[[User:A_morris|a_morris]] <small>([[User_talk:A_morris|talk]])</small> 23:46, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

== "If you continue to vandalize you may be blocked." ==
 
I believe this sentence can be changed to "will be blocked", due to the fact that blocks often follow the warnings. Apart from that I believe warnings are more often used to show the user their wrong behaviour and give them a chance to stop vandalizing rather than directing them to policies.

:I don't know. Really, the 'one-size fits all' warning that we use right now isn't totally effective to resolve every situation. For instance, if someone makes an edit that is a violation but likely in good faith, then sending them the warning makes it seem like a really serious offense, much more serious than it was. I think changing the wording makes it even more serious-sounding. On the other hand, there are times when you want your warning to be sternly worded. So my suggestion, other than changing the wording of this warning, is to have two or three different 'grades' of warnings, used depending on the severity of the warning. This is similar to how Wikipedia handles warnings (though they have dozens of warnings, and their warnings are very specific to the rule violation). -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 19:15, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
