This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more BattleTechWiki contributors.

Template messages are pre-generated messages added to articles and talk pages to quickly make a statement using a (generally) non-changing message. On average, the templates apply to the who page and, in those cases, are added to the top of the page. When a specific template is used to comment on a section of an article, it is generally added in at the top of that section.
User Templates[edit]
User Templates are placed on Users' talk pages. Some are simply administrative (ex:Template:Sign), some are friendly messages (ex:Template:Welcome) and others serve as warnings (ex: Template:NPA-1) for inappropriate behavior.
User Comments[edit]
User Warnings[edit]
- Vandalism: including standard vandalism, blanking pages and spam edits
