Template documentation

Usage:

{{subst:templatesnotice}}

{{subst:templatesnotice|Article}} references a specific article

{{subst:templatesnotice|Article|Additional text}} adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you"

This template has been carefully designed based on guidelines by the user warnings project.
Please discuss the general visual appearance of these templates (for example, the image in the top-left corner) on the user warning talk page.
Please refer to the index of message 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 using {{subst:templatesnotice}} rather than {{templatesnotice}}.
This template uses a parser function. To give greater detail to your message, you may add the article name and some additional text to the end of the template.
Optionally, add |subst=subst: to the end of the template to reduce the code in the final output: {{subst:templatesnotice|Article|Additional text|subst=subst:}}.

This should however only be done if you use the Article parameter of the template. There is a currently investigated bug on the MediaWiki software that breaks the template if you omit this parameter and use |subst=subst:.

This template ({{templatesnotice}}) should be put on all templates that are covered by WP:UW and listed on WP:UTM.

[edit] Shortcuts

This template can display up to three shortcuts templates: those that fall under the redirect category {{r from other template}}, like {{uw-t1}}. To indicate the three redirects, just write the name of the redirect template after the appropriate variable (use just the basic name; for example, "uw-v1" instead of "Template:Uw-v1" or "{{Uw-v1}}").

{{templatesnotice|s1=shortcut template 1|s2 = shortcut template 2| s3 = shortcut template 3}}

Leave out the parameters that you don't need.

This feature calls {{template shortcut}}.

[edit] Template series

For easy navigation, it is possible to use {{user warning set}}. There are three variables you can use, one of which is required. Another is recommended, and another is only needed if escalation is required. The format for this is:

{{templatesnotice|series=series |max=max |escalate=escalate}}

series is the name of the template series. This is the prefix of the template. Examples of series names are "uw-vandalism", "uw-test", "uw-spam", "uw-agf".
max is the number of templates in the series. For the "uw-own" series, which contains the templates {{uw-own1}}, {{uw-own1}}, and {{uw-own1}}, B would be 3. If all four levels are used, B would be 4. Any values other than "3" or "4" would yield levels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 4im being displayed. Use "4im" for the B value if this is the case.
escalate indicates whether the template series escalated to {{uw-vandalism4}}. The test series contains the templates {{uw-test1}}, {{uw-test2}}, and {{uw-test3}}, so its B value would be 3. If such edits continue, it would be necessary to use {{uw-vandalism4}} as a level 4 warning, so for the uw-test series, C is set to "yes". Setting it to "true", "false", "no", "oh yeah", or "1" would result in the escalation option not being used.
