Line 1,627:
When we include an article title as the 1st argument in [[:Template:uw-unsourced2]], the first sentence reads: {{quotation|Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources as you did at [[Article]].}}
While the meaning is clear that the user failed to verify an edit somewhere, it's not clear whether the user verified or failed to verify the edit at [[Article]]. I think it would be less ambiguous to write the warning as follows: {{quotation|Please do not add or change content as you did at [[Article]] without verifying it by citing reliable sources.}}

I've seen lots of test edits by anonymous, [[IP Address]], users who have not yet received a welcome message. Also, I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome templates|wikipedia welcome template]] that is specifically designed to warn anonymous users that testing isn't appropriate (I've searched extensively -- more than just that page). I worked up a template to fill this gap but I don't know if it's ready for primetime. I'm looking for an experienced template editor to help polish and guide this useful tool through the final stages. Please post something on my talk page if you're interested in helping.

::Did you see [[Template:welcome-anon-test]]? [[User:Jojalozzo|<
:::I did. That message doesn't use any of the [[help:magic words|magic words]] that identify an anon user's [[IP address]]. Also, why doesn't it simply include the language in <code><nowiki>{{subst:Shared IP advice}}</nowiki></code>? - <b>[[User:Tucoxn|<font face="Verdana" color="#522C1B"><font size="+1"><span class="Unicode">ʈ</span></font>u</font><font color="#417DC1">coxn</font>]]</b>\<font face="serif"><sup>[[User_talk:Tucoxn|talk]]</sup></font> 01:55, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
::::As I recall it was based on another welcome message that must not have had those features. I have no problem with you improving it. I added the basepagename parameter, edited it a bit for possible shared usage and added the shared IP advice from welcome-anon-vandal. [[User:Jojalozzo|<
:::::Thanks, [[User:Jojalozzo|Jojalozzo]]. Adding the basepagename parameter was one of the things I wanted to see. I made a couple small edits. Let me know what you think before I suggest any additional changes. - <b>[[User:Tucoxn|<font face="Verdana" color="#522C1B"><font size="+1"><span class="Unicode">ʈ</span></font>u</font><font color="#417DC1">coxn</font>]]</b>\<font face="serif"><sup>[[User_talk:Tucoxn|talk]]</sup></font> 09:04, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
::::::This is great. Go for it. [[User:Jojalozzo|<
:::::[[User:Jojalozzo|Jojalozzo]], I'm still looking into tweaks that can be made to {{tl|welcome-anon-test}} but I noticed something else on the template that doesn't seem to work and I don't know how to fix it. The "Username" parameter doesn't seem to function. Could you verify that it's broken and and fix it? Thanks! - <b>[[User:Tucoxn|<font face="Verdana" color="#522C1B"><font size="+1"><span class="Unicode">ʈ</span></font>u</font><font color="#417DC1">coxn</font>]]</b>\<font face="serif"><sup>[[User_talk:Tucoxn|talk]]</sup></font> 00:05, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
::::::Yes, I'll have a look... [[User:Jojalozzo|<
::::::If you add your user name as the second parameter it makes the text "my talk page" into a link to your talk page. That is working. Maybe we just need to clarify the docs to say that. I just copied the welcome-anon-vandal docs so I will update them both. [[User:Jojalozzo|<
::::::I wikified the link to the <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:Category:Wikipedians looking for help|helpme]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> template. I'm also working on distributing wiki-links to [[Template:welcome-anon-test]] to the other locations where welcome and vandalism/test templates are located.
::::::One thing I don't know how to do: the words "here on ''your'' talk page" should have the same link for the user to edit his talk page. I think this is another opportunity for some of wikipedia's [[help:magic words|magic words]]. Thanks! - <b>[[User:Tucoxn|<font face="Verdana" color="#522C1B"><font size="+1"><span class="Unicode">ʈ</span></font>u</font><font color="#417DC1">coxn</font>]]</b>\<font face="serif"><sup>[[User_talk:Tucoxn|talk]]</sup></font> 19:06, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:::::::Such a link would only be useful when the template is used ''somewhere other than on a user's talk page''. I do not think such a use case exists. [[User:Jojalozzo|<
