BattleTechWiki:Template messages/Personal Attacks
Sarna News
These templates are placed on talk pages to warn a user from personal attacks against other Editors. 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 (ex: "Level 2 warning").
