== New block templates to go with certain "Uw-" multi-level warnings: ==
I am creating new user block templates for certain actions that there are multi-level warnings for. Examples include:
* {{Tl2|Uw-gamingblock}} - [[Wikipedia:Gaming the system|gaming the system]], goes with {{Tl2|Uw-gaming}} templates
* {{Tl2|Uw-colorblock}} - adding non-compliant colors, goes with {{Tl2|Uw-color}} templates
* {{Tl2|Uw-attemptblock}} - triggering the edit filter, goes with {{Tl2|Uw-attempt}} templates

:{{replyto|Mario662629}} You're not an administrator. Why would you need these? --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 21:16, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
::I'm not sure why, but I'm also worried about something bad happening to my account because of this. Anyways, this might be done just to have a block template for every multi-level user warning. [[User:Mario662629|Mario662629]] ([[User talk:Mario662629|talk]]) 22:39, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

{{OversightBlock}}</syntaxhighlight> Your first two are not among these, and your third is covered by {{tlxs|Uw-disruptblock}}. The [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocking policy]] goes into further detail. There is no one-to-one match between user warnings and block reasons, and there is not intended to be. I don't see why you might worry about something bad happening to your account. Have you been served warnings about any of these three potential issues? --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 06:45, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
::::* {{Tl2|Uw-disruptblock}} goes with {{Tl2|Uw-disruptive1}}, {{Tl2|Uw-disruptive2}}, {{Tl2|Uw-disruptive3}}, and {{Tl2|Uw-generic4}}.
::::* I'm talking about the templates left on user talk pages, not the ones used in the block reasons.
::::* For the purpose of testing and organization, I have created this [[User:Mario662629/User_warning_test|test page]], which is being used for the purpose of organizing these templates.
::::[[User:Mario662629|Mario662629]] ([[User talk:Mario662629|talk]]) 15:52, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::I know that you're talking about templates on user talk pages. What I am saying is that each message usually pairs with a block reason. For instance, if an admin blocks with a reason of [[WP:Vandalism|Vandalism]], they will serve a {{tlxs|uw-vblock}}. [[Wikipedia:Gaming the system|Gaming the system]] is not, of itself, a reason to block.
:::::What I want to know is ''why'' you want them to be created (and I see that you have begun creating them yourself) when [[Special:UserRights/Mario662629|you are not, at present, an administrator]]. If we were short of appropriate block messages, an existing ''experienced'' administrator would surely have created them, but only when absolutely necessary. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 20:33, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
