Toolbar

You can use RedWarn by interacting with the icons at the top of a page, known as the toolbar.

The most obvious and noticeable difference is the toolbar. This is a row of icons above the title line of all pages giving you multiple actions you can perform. The location of the toolbar varies based on your preferences.

Talk Pages

New message

The "new message" button () opens the "New Talk Page Message" dialog. This dialog works similarly to Wikipedia's built in "new section" tool on talk pages, however you type the contents in standard WikiText in the box that appears. To preview your message, click the preview button () situated to the top-right of the dialog. Once you've finished your message, press the Send Message button which will edit the target users talk page and add your message.

Quick Template

Main page: Wikipedia:RedWarn/Documentation/Quick Template

The second button opens a new dialog titled "Select Template Pack". By default this dialog will be empty apart from two buttons:

• Help/Get more template packs
• Create new template pack

If you click on the first option, you will be redirected to Wikipedia:RedWarn/Documentation/Quick Template. The second button allows you to create a template pack.

Installing template packs is relatively simple. First, go to Wikipedia:RedWarn/help/Quick Template/templates and choose a template pack you would like to install. Copy the pack code below the pack description. Now go to RedWarn preferences (), scroll down to the purple "Quick Template" box on the right sidebar and click "Install Template Pack" then paste in the template code into the alert box and press OK.

Warn User

The Warn User button () allows you to add multiple different warning templates (with parameters) to a user's talkpage. On clicking the icon, the "Warn User" dialog pops up. From here you are able to change multiple parameters:

• The most important field is the reason field. Here you can choose from almost 100 warnings that the target user will receive. To search, just start typing with the list open. You can select the first item from the list by pressing ENTER.
• On templates that are not single-use, radio buttons will appear below the reason field, allowing you to select the warning level. Based on previous warnings, RedWarn will adjust the level accordingly to match the warning that should be next given, however, if this is not appropriate you should change it.
• The related page field allows you to enter the page that the notice is referring to.
• In the additional info field, you can add a comment that will appear below the notice.

Manage Page Protection

Clicking the Manage Page Protection button () will open the Manage Page Protection dialog, in which you can request for protection or unprotection of any page you are on. In the dialog, you will first need to select the protection level you would like to request, the current level being greyed out. Click to select a higher protection level to request page protection, or lower protection level to request unprotection to that level. Once that is complete, select a reason and elaborate any extra details in the space provided so administrators have all the information they need to respond to your request. Once you have completed the form, click Protect to then submit your request to requests for page protection.

Alert on Change

After pressing the Alert on Change button (), you will receive a push notification every time a change to the selected page is detected. Once you go to the tab that has the page, it will automatically load the diff of the change.

Latest Revision

The Latest Revision button ()... shows you the latest revision (believe it or not).

More Options Dialog

Main page: Wikipedia:RedWarn/Documentation/More Options Dialog

the default More Options dialog when on a normal page

RedWarn 16 introduced a new "More Options" dialog (), the contents of which differ based on if you you accessed it via the top icon on a normal page, a page in the userspace or the icon in the rollback options. Additional rollback options were moved here, alongside the preferences "Report User" options. and 2 new actions that can be performed on diffs were added. These are the "Report edit to Wikimedia Trust and Safety" (), and "Report edit to Oversight" () buttons.
