See Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace for an expanded page.
These templates should pretty much always be used with the "subst:" keyword, as strongly suggested on Wikipedia:template substitution. They are shown without subst here to reduce the display space occupied by this large table, not to encourage their use without subst. For example, type {{subst:test}}, not {{test}} to warn common first-time vandals.

^ To coordinate numbers, the previous blanking 2, 3 and 4 templates have been moved because they were out of sync with the numbering usage with other templates. The old templates, though not listed, can still be used as they redirect to the new name and number.
The numbering system being used across the templates is simple.
- general note
- could be seen as vandalism
- warning to stop
- final warning
- blocked
- blocked plus severe warning.
If you are creating new templates, please follow the numbers above, even if you are not creating templates using all the numbers. That way, by using the right number users will be able to know automatically what category of message the template refers to.
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopaedic content.
