Bitcoin Wiki:User warnings

From Bitcoin Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

These templates are for use by all users, except the block templates.

Note that adding a block template won't block a user, they are only notifications.

Users warned only with warnings marked with a Information icon are considered faithful editors who want to legitimately improve the wiki, with just a little misguidance.

Warnings marked with a Information icon are considered to be responding to a user whose intent is purely malicious.

Warnings should be given in order: Blue, Orange, Red. Some offenses only have a Red warning, because they are considered major.

After continuing to offend with a Red warning, a user should be blocked.

Usage What to type What it makes
Vandalism (First warning) {{subst:uw-vandalism1}} Information icon Hello, I'm Taras. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your userspace. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!
Vandalism (Second warning) {{subst:uw-vandalism2}} Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to the Bitcoin wiki. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use your userspace. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you.
Vandalism (Third warning) {{subst:uw-vandalism3}} Information icon This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize, you will be blocked without further notice.

False authority (Block) {{subst:uw-aublock|nosig=1}}
Your account has been permanently blocked from editing the bitcoin wiki with this username. This is because your username appears to infer administrative authority, which is misleading in this case. You are encouraged to create a new account with an appropriate username. 
Accidental edits (Tip) {{subst:sp}} Information.png Please make use of the Show preview button. It gives you a preview of the edit you make, allowing you to perfect it before you save the page.
