{{Nutshell|Warnings are issued to correct behavior. Warnings are not meant to punish a user or to shame them. If you receive a warning, ''don't'' over-react, but ''do'' follow the advice that it gives you.}}
The Sims Wiki has, over time, adopted a system of '''Warnings''' to address actions performed by users that, while not serious enough to warrant a block, do need to be addressed. Warnings are issued through use of '''user warning templates'''.

}}The Sims Wiki has, over time, adopted a system of '''Warnings''' to address actions performed by users that, while not serious enough to warrant a block, do need to be addressed. Warnings are issued through use of the {{t|Warning}} template - only administrators and rollbackers are allowed to place this template.
 
'''Do not consider warnings as a form of punishment.''' The purpose of warnings are to correct behavior which is contrary to established wiki practice or policy, not to chastise a user for breaking a rule. As part of the principle of [[The Sims Wiki:Assume good faith|assuming good faith]], it is believed that most edits made to The Sims Wiki, ''even edits which detract from the quality of the wiki'', are done with good intentions.
 
If ananother administratoruser feels you have performed an edit with good intentions but have erred either by violating practice or policy, they may choose to issue a warning. Additionally, if your edit perhaps was not performed with the best of intent, an administratorthey may choose to give you the benefit of the doubt, in hopes that you will adjust your behavior and continue to make positive contributions to the Wiki.
 
==What to do when warned==
If you have received a warning, be sure to read the reason behind the warning, including any additional justification the administrator gave, if any. If the meaning of the warning isor atthe allreason for receiving it is unclear to you, contact the user that administratorgave viayou theirthe warning on that user's [[Help:Talk page|talk page]], andor determinecontact whyan administrator on the warning[[The Sims Wiki:Administrators' wasnoticeboard|administrators' issuednoticeboard]].
 
After you have read a warning message, you are free to remove it from your page. Note that the history of your talk page will continue to show a warning even after it is removed from the current page version, so removing a warning in order to appear 'innocent' while performing bad faith edits likely won't work for very long.
Line 20 ⟶ 16:
 
==What Not to do when warned==
A warning is not a severe event, and it does not require a severe reaction on the part of the person warned. If you personally disagree with having been warned, politely ask the administratoruser the reason(s) for the warning they gave you. Do not become hostile towards the warning administratoruser or others, as that is going to make it more difficult for you to reach a fair outcome.
 
If you believe a warning was issued against you for personal reasons, discretely contact a neutralan administrator through the [[TSW:AN|administrators' noticeboard]] and ask them to review the situation -; in this scenario, please be sure to be able to demonstrate the issuing administratoruser's hostile behavior, or your claim might be viewed as being hostile towards the administratoruser that initially warned you. If you believe a warning was received due to a poor policy or guideline, consider proposing a change in the [[Forum:Community discussions|Community Discussions forum]].
 
Under no circumstances should you 'publicly' (e.g. on the Community Portal talk page or in a forum or blog post) complain about a warning you've received. After all, the administrator who issued the warning chose to warn you ratherwere thannot blockblocked you, meaning thatfor your behavior was not serious enough to warrant being blocked, and meaning that you have an opportunity to correct any such behavior in the future. You should not claim a bias against you where one does not exist, as doing so will make you look petty and unwilling to be reasonable. And all of these behaviors increasesincrease the chanceschance that you might be blocked later on in the future.
 
The bottom line - warnings are learning experiences, not punishments. Do your best to learn from the experience, don't dwell on a warning or consider it as a badge of shame.
 
==Issuing warnings==
User warnings are designed as a tool to correct negative behavior, both behavior undertaken in good faith and behavior taken in bad faith. Users issuing warnings should strive to assume good faith wherever possible.
