guys, this is something I forgot to bring here the other week but just remembered, so better late than never. [[User|Sandstein]] added the above warning to the main page after [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia]], this was done with good intention though I believe this warning should have greater concensus before going live (my comments and reasoning are in the blocks and logs section of the ArbReq). Thoughts please? <sup>[[User:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#6633cc>Khu</font>''']][[User_talk:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#CC66FF>kri</font>''']]</sup> 15:24, 13 December 2007 (UTC) (signed later oops)
:I say that placing such a template on the UTM page is a bad idea. The tone of the message is very biting to me and unknowing newbies may be extremely offended by this message. Such a warning on the UTM page may also encourage users who are in a dispute relating to the subject to place these templates on users' talk pages without thought or to get back at them. I also concur with your point on this template leading to things like <nowiki>{{uw-ireland}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{uw-israel-palestine}}</nowiki> etc.. Not every editor involved in editing the related Balans pages needs this rude message on their talk page and those that do should have a more personal message rather than a template. So to sum up my point, the template is over-excessive and not needed. --[[User:Hdt83|<font color="336611" ><b><i>Hdt<font color="blue" >83</font></i></b></font>]] [[User talk:Hdt83|<sup><font color="brown" face="Arial"><b>Chat</b></font></sup>]] 04:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
:I think the whole idea of this preemptive warning is contrary to [[WP:BITE]], [[WP:AGF]], and [[WP:CIVIL]]. More in line with policy, IMO, would be to give the warning to editors who are beginning to engage in behaviors that would result in these sanctions. Yes, this means they might get away with slightly more disruption, but the alternative is worse. [[User:Anomie|Anomie]][[User talk:Anomie|⚔]] 02:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
