[edit]- {{subst:Welcome-anon}} --~~~~ (welcoming new IPers)
- {{subst:Welcome5}} --~~~~ (welcoming new users)
- {{subst:selftest}} --~~~~ (use if an edit appears to be a reversion of a newbie test)
- Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia! Your test worked, and thank you for reverting or removing it yourself. The best way to do tests in the future would be to use the sandbox. You can look at these pages as well: how to edit a page, the tutorial, and how to write a great article. All of these pages are good places to start. Again, welcome, and I hope that you will like Wikipedia.
- {{subst:test}} --~~~~ (use if an edit appears to have possibly not been an intentional act of vandalism)
- Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
- {{subst:Uw-notcensored1}} --~~~~ (use if user thinks WP is censored)
- Welcome to Wikipedia. I notice that you removed topically-relevant content from a Wikipedia article. However, Wikipedia is not censored to remove content that might be considered objectionable. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. You have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
No faith
[edit]- {{subst:blatantvandal}} --~~~~ (use if an edit is clearly vandalism)
- Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thank you.
- {{subst:test2}} --~~~~
- Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.
- {{subst:test2a}} --~~~~ (a variant suitable for vandalism that consists of blanking text)
- Please do not remove content from Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
- {{subst:Uw-upv2}} --~~~~
- Please do not introduce any form of vandalism to the userpages of other users.
Bad faith
[edit]- {{subst:test3}} --~~~~
- Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
- {{subst:test4}} --~~~~
- This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
- {{subst:Uw-3rr4}} --~~~~ (used against edit warriors.)
- You have violated the three-revert rule. Any administrator may now choose to block your account. In the future, please make an effort to discuss your changes further, instead of edit warring.
- {{subst:test4im}} --~~~~ (used as a first warning for extreme cases of vandalism)
- This is your only warning. Your recent vandalism has shown you to be intent on doing harm to Wikipedia. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Really bad faith
[edit]- {{subst:non-admin fwarn}}~~~~ (the BFG)
Your repeated efforts to vandalize articles makes it seem that you are unaware that Wikipedia is a serious project. You have been reported to the administration group for continuing vandalism and an administrator will review your contributions shortly. You may not receive another warning before being blocked, so be careful and be serious from now on. If you are blocked, please reconsider your behavior once the block expires.
