There is a proposal for such a template message at [[Wikipedia:Requested templates#A notice for people who upload media to Wikipedia instead of Commons|Wikipedia:Requested templates]]. –[[User talk:Pomte|Pomte]] 01:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
== Template code should be placed in shortcut toolbox ==
 
Would it not make warnings a lot easier if the codes could be placed in the box with shortcuts for code and extra characters that appears just below the text in the editing screen? We could then just type the name of the article, it would surely save a lot of time. Obviously we wouldn't need all of them, but we could fit almost all of the commonly used templates on a single line. [[User:Richard001|Richard001]] 00:08, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
:Aren't there plenty of scripts you can install into your monobook.js (or equivalent) that do that sort of thing for you and more? And as a bonus, the whole list of templates isn't there to confuse newbies. [[User:Anomie|Anomie]] 00:46, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 
== IP warning? ==
 
I'm new to this... how do you handle a vandalizing IP address? [[User:Caswin|Caswin]] 01:05, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
:Well, it depends upon the severity of said user's vandalism. If it's a relatively minor offense, you might consider adding <nowiki>{{subst:Welcome-anon-vandal}}</nowiki> or some other warning to their talk page. For more minor warnings for an IP address, look about halfway down [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome templates|this page]]. If the offense was more severe, go to [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace|this page]] and post the warning that fits their offense on their talk page. For example, if the user removed a little bit of content from an article once, you might consider adding the appropriate level 1 warning <nowiki>{{subst:uw-delete1}}</nowiki> to their page. If they do it again, or they deleted more content, add a level 2 warning <nowiki>{{subst:uw-delete2}}</nowiki>. There are 4 warning levels, each increasing in severity before the user is blocked. Ok, that explanation probably didn't make much sense&mdash;if you want a better explanation, feel free to ask me on my talk page or wait for another user to reply. <font face="Lucida Handwriting">[[User:Arwen undomiel|<b><font color="#0BDA51">Arwen Undomiel</font></b>]] [[User talk:Arwen undomiel|<b><font color="#6495ED"><sup>talk</sup></font></b>]]</font> 06:39, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
