User:The Unknown Hitchhiker/Template Messages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This sub-page is for storing template messages that I can use. I know it's a section of the Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace article, but I am using it for organizing useful templates.


  • 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
