:I would say a single use template ("uw-missummary"?), and then just use the regular vandalism templates. --<small>([[Wikipedia:Editor review/R|Review Me]])</small> [[User:R|'''R''']] ^{[[User_talk:R|Parlate]]}<small>[[Special:Contributions/R|Contribs]]_{[[Special:Emailuser/R|@]]} (Let's Go Yankees!)</small> 17:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

::We actually have {{tl|Wrongsummary1}}, {{tl|Wrongsummary2}}, {{tl|Wrongsummary3}} as well as {{tl|minor}}, though none of these are part of the uw scheme. I think we could probably make one single use template out of the lot.--<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size:11pt">[[User:Kubigula|Kubigula]] ''([[User talk:Kubigula|talk]])''</span> 18:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

== 4im? ==

Why do we have both 1-2-3-4 series of warnings and also the 4im "only warning"s? [[User:Josh the Nerd|Josh the Nerd]] 21:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

*mm? Sorry I don't get your question :) -- [[User:Lucasbfr|lucasbfr]] ^{[[User talk:Lucasbfr|<font color="darkblue">talk</font>]]} 22:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

*Sometimes it is appropriate to give a "one time only" warning, rather than repeated warnings. If you are only going to warn someone once then it needs to be worded slightly differently (ie only warning, rather than final warning).

*Usually when any first time warnings are issued, editors should receive at least a lvl 1 which is [[WP:AGF]], and then perhaps a 3 then 4. If it is a IP address that has offended before, remember there's a high chance it's not the same person behind that IP then a neutral warning (lvl2) followed by a lvl4 should suffice. The IM warnings are used for high level vandal IP's, such as a schools , institution, common ISP's, or vandalism which is deemed to be particularly nasty, but often all will be blocked on sight if an admin sees it first. There is a increasingly prevalent use of the im or bv warnings on first time vandals which IMHO do not warrant this, and I may take a look into writing something up to prevent this.

:The whole system should be geared up towards flexibility, whilst trying to maintain our standards whilst dealing with people who might not have the same level of integrity, and at all times even in the face of adversity, trying to assume good faith. ^{[[User:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#6633cc>Khu</font>''']][[User_talk:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#CC66FF>kri</font>''']]} 15:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

== Commenting in talk archives warning? ==

I can't see a notice/warning about commenting in talk archives. Am I being blind, or do we need one? [[User:Jrphayes|John Hayes]]^{[[User_talk:Jrphayes|talk]]} 13:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

:Or maybe more generally editing an archive page (unless archiving obviously). [[User:Jrphayes|John Hayes]]^{[[User_talk:Jrphayes|talk]]} 13:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
