Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For article talk template messages, see Wikipedia:Template messages/Talk namespace. For items commending users about behavior or contributions, see Wikipedia:Barnstars. These templates replace those at the deprecated Template:TestTemplates.

The multi-level templates have recently undergone a harmonisation program by the WikiProject user warnings. The old template grid may still be found here with the details here. Please visit the project pages, for some important changes about the implementation of these templates, especially the test templates and the new vandalism warnings. |
These templates are placed on talk pages to warn a user against vandalism, convey a standardised message, or to place a standard boilerplate note at the top of a page. They are split into two groups of warnings: single issue templates, which are one off messages usually to provide information hints and tips, and multi-level warnings are usually issued for edits that in one form or other do not meet Wikipedia's criteria or policies and can be issued with varying levels of severity. On the top of each table is a link to a details page for both sets of warnings.
Remember to always add "subst:" to substitute messages, so that the message does not change from what the user originally saw and perhaps responded to. (See Wikipedia:Template substitution for more information.)
If you want to change the name of a series, or propose a new multi-level series, make sure to leave a note about it on WT:UTM, so that it can be fully integrated as a warning template, if there are no major objections.
