Template:DefwarnMrB

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This notice has been left for you because another Wikipedia user suspects that, perhaps innocently, you may have defamed someone in your contributions. Please recheck your edits. Do not make allegations against someone unless you have provided evidence from a reliable publication, and then make sure you describe the allegations in accordance with our content policies, particularly Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. Don't rely on hearsay, rumours, or things you believe without evidence to be facts, and don't use sources to create a novel narrative. Wikipedia requires reliable sources for all claims. Please see our policy on biographies of living persons.

If you may have inadvertently defamed someone in an article, do two things:

1. If the material is still there, remove it immediately. You may wish to use an edit summary like "Removing possible defamation" to prevent it from being reverted.
2. Leave a note on the administrator's noticeboard saying that you have accidentally included defamatory claims in a named article or articles. Do not repeat the claim(s). The revision(s) containing the material can then be deleted from the page history.

Template usage notes Most test(n) templates take a single optional parameter: the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning. test5 optionally takes two parameters: The first is the duration of the block (with "temporarily blocked" as the default if a specific period is not provided). The second is the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning. Please refer to the index of test templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending. Please remember to substitute the template—use {{subst:DefwarnMrB}} rather than {{DefwarnMrB}}.
