COI edit notice
{{COI editnotice}} for company page talkpages, expands to:
Don't change the English variety:
{{subst:uw-lang}}, which reads:
In a recent edit, you changed one or more words from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you.
Vandalism warning:
First vandalism warning:
Old version, must be copypasted:
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
Upgraded yucky milquetoast version:
{{subst:uw-vandalism}}, which reads:
Hello, I'm Bishonen. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!
(Isn't that special?)
Second vandalism warning:
{{subst:uw-vandalism2}}, which reads:
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
Stern vandalism warning:
{{subst:uw-vandalism3}}, which reads:
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.
First and only vandalism warning:
{{subst:uw-vandalism4im}}, which reads:
This is the only warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
First content blanking warning:
{{subst:uw-delete1}}, which reads:
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Wikipedia. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
Spammy external links:
Level 1: {{Subst:uw-spam1}}, which reads:
Hello, I'm Bishonen. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.
Level 2: {{Subst:uw-spam2}}, which reads:
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guidelineand spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.
Level 3: {{Subst:uw-spam3}}, which reads:
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia usesnofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Level 4: {{Subst:uw-spam4}}, which reads:
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.
Level 4im: {{Subst:uw-spam4im}}, which reads:
This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.
First and only npa warning:
{{subst:uw-npa4im}}, which reads:
This is the only warning you will receive regarding your disruptive comments.
The next time you make a personal attack, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people.
Edit warring:
Nice friendly first editwarring warning: {{subst:uw-ewsoft}}, which reads:
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-ew}}, which reads:
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
- Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
- If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
{{subst:uw-3rr}}, which reads
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
- If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
It's probably better to add the article name as a parameter, which improves the text altogether. Like this:
{{subst:uw-3rr|Buckingham Palace}}, which displays as:
Your recent editing history at Buckingham Palace shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Fringe warning
{{subst:Uw-fringe1}}, which displays as:
Welcome to Wikipedia. I notice that you added some content to a Wikipedia article that appears to be a minority or fringe viewpoint. Unfortunately, this edit appears to give undue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain a neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea. Feel free to use the article's talk page to discuss this, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
Or add article and additional text as parameters like this:
{{subst:Uw-fringe1|''article''|''additional text''}}, which displays as:

Unfortunately, this edit appears to give undue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain a neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea.

Don't mark that "minor"
{{subst:Uw-minor|Article|Additional text}}, which displays as:
Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Article, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Additional text
Block messages
- To insert duration of block and an individualised reason, use this: {{subst:uw-block |time=duration |reason=reason}}
- This text can be added to the end of any block message:
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
- {{subst:uw-block}}, which reads: You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
- With parameters: {{subst:uw-block |time=duration |reason=reason}}. It reads for example: You have been blocked from editing for a period of 6 months for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
- {{subst:uw-blockindef}}, which reads: You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
- {{subst:uw-blockindef |reason=being a vandalism-only account}}, which reads: You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for being a vandalism-only account. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
- {{subst:uw-ewblock|time=duration}}, which reads for example: You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
- {{subst:Uw-sblock|anon=yes|time=Duration|reason=For a different reason|notalk=yes|page=Targeted page|sig=yes}}, which reads for example
- You are using this template in the wrong namespace. Use this template on a user talk page instead.
- {{subst:sockBlock}}, which displays as
Userpage tags for socks
- {{blockedsockpuppet|username}} displays as
Please
(The page will be pre-loaded. All you need to do is save it)
- {{sock|puppeteername|confirmed}} displays as

For puppeteer:
- {{sockpuppeteer|blocked}} displays as
- {{sockpuppeteer|blocked| checked=yes}} displays the same:
Protection padlocks:
Use {{pp-protected|small=yes}} for just an icon at the top.
Reason for protecting and/or duration can be added as parameters, which will show on mouseover. Like this: {{pp-vandalism|expiry=17 August 2013|small=yes}} But the reason parameter is fussy, I don't know anything that works except "vandalism" and "blp". {{pp-semi-blp|expiry=11 July 2013|small=yes}} will show as "This article is semiprotected until blabla to promote compliance with the policy on biographies of living people."
The lock icon will choose automagically between semi, full, and pending changes padlock (silver, gold, and green) according to what protection is in place.
Must start with protecting, because these templates will not be visible on pages that are not protected.
