BattleTechWiki:Template index/Counter-Vandalism

These templates are placed on talk pages to warn a user against vandalism. You are responsible for ensuring that the template's text is appropriate to the violation: if the template's tone isn't appropriate, don't use the template. There is not a formal system that you have to use: they are a shortcut to typing, nothing more. If you cannot find a template that says what you want to say then go ahead and say it normally.

Remember:

• always substitute messages by adding subst: before the name of the template, so that the message does not change from what the user originally saw and perhaps responded to,
• always sign (with --~~~~) the template, and
• try to give the level of the template you have used in your edit summary, so that other users know what templates have been used.

Warnings

• Level 1 – Assumes good faith. Generally includes "Welcome to Wikipedia" or some variant.
• Level 2 – No faith assumption
• Level 3 – Assumes bad faith; cease and desist
• Level 4 – Assumes bad faith; strong cease and desist, last warning
• Level 4im – Assumes bad faith; strong cease and desist, first and only warning
