Would anyone be opposed to me adding a line in the "please talk in the talk page" template that would instruct new users to click on the "discussion" tap at the top of their screens? --[[User:Arctic.gnome|Arctic Gnome]] <small>([[User talk:Arctic.gnome|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Arctic.gnome|contribs]])</small> 21:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

:I would hope that the link to [[Wikipedia:Talk page]] that's already there would be sufficient, but I see no harm in being more explicit.--<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype">[[User:Kubigula|Kubigula]] ''([[User talk:Kubigula|talk]])''</span> 03:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

==Using templates==

Is the number 1 supposed to show up at the beginning on all these? Seems out of place when warning them.

==Organizing this page==

Could we break this page down a little more so that the templates get their own subsections for each violation type, similar to what has been done for blocks at the bottom of the page? For instance, create subsections for: Vandalism, Blanking, Testing, User pages, Informational error, Manual of style, Assume good faith, No personal attacks, Defamatory content, Joking, Biographical accuracy, Neutral point of view, Ownership of articles (typo in level two template), Spam links, Copright infringement, Creating articles, 3RR, Images, Censorship, Unsourced content, and Moving articles. It's hard to grab the right template when in a hurry to let an editor know that their current action is not 100% acceptable according to Wiki standards. <b><i><font face="Times New Roman" color="darkblue">[[User:Zuejay|Zue]]</font></i><font face="Times New Roman" color="blue">[[Special:Contributions/Zuejay|Jay]]</font>^{[[User talk:Zuejay|talk]]}</b> 02:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

:You know, that's a good idea. I'd do it myself, but I don't want to do it unles everyone agrees. Any other Yay's OR Nay's? -- [[User:Nerketur|Nerketur]] 23:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

:Bring it up on [[WT:UTM]] you'll get more opinion there, but I don't see why not. ^{[[User:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#6633cc>Khu</font>''']][[User_talk:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#CC66FF>kri</font>''']] -} 10:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

::Thanks to ''someone'' for following up on this request. It is so much easier to use. I lost track of this over the last couple weeks while on wikibreak. Thanks for following thru/up. There are templates here I didn't know we had! <b><i><font face="Times New Roman" color="darkblue">[[User:Zuejay|Zue]]</font></i><font face="Times New Roman" color="blue">[[Special:Contributions/Zuejay|Jay]]</font>^{[[User talk:Zuejay|talk]]}</b> 05:43, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

== Self revert template ==

Could we get a template for self revert tests? [[User:WilliamKF|WilliamKF]] 04:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

: There already is, {{tltt|uw-selfrevert|thanks for reverting your own tests}}. It's a fairly busy page but ''almost'' everything we have is listed here [[WP:UTM]]. Regards, ^{[[User:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#6633cc>Khu</font>''']][[User_talk:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#CC66FF>kri</font>''']]} 11:29, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

::Great, thanks, I added this to the project page. [[User:WilliamKF|WilliamKF]] 22:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

:::I reverted your change as you added it to the multi-level warnings page, for warnings that have incremental levels. It needs to be added to the [[Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace/Single_level_details|single level]] warnings. As you look through it you'll see that the warnings aren't harmonised and do not have the same look and ''tidyness'' that the multi level warnings do. I'm back from wikibreak tomorrow and next week I intend to attack the second part of [[WP:UW]] harmonisation program. If you look [[WP:UW/Overview|here]] you'll see most of the templates that weren't covered by the original program and the recommended actions.

::::And Khukri has put it on the single level page too already. Thanks. [[User:WilliamKF|WilliamKF]] 00:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

==sequence==

Is there any rationale behind the ___location of the various items--they seem in no particular order. If no one has a better idea, I'm going to group them as article/edit/behavior/misc

== Attacking the person in his biography, not the editor. ==

I've experienced an edit in a biography which the editor attacked the person in the biography not an editor, I only found here the <nowiki>{{subst:uw-npa1|Article}} template so I used the </nowiki><nowiki>{{subst:uw-biog1|Article}}</nowiki> instead. Why isn't there such a template for attacking a person in his own biography ???

:Depends on what is being written, but sound like the {{tl|uw-defam1}} series could be used here. ^{[[User:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#6633cc>Khu</font>''']][[User_talk:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#CC66FF>kri</font>''']]} 11:27, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

== Moving the block templates was a bad idea ==

I know I used this page as a reference tab in my browser when policing pages, now I have to open two... and I don't see a practical reason. --[[User:Bobak|Bobak]] 22:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Previously, we had two pages:

{| class="wikitable"

|-

! page 1

! page 2

|-

|

* multi-level warning templates

* block templates

*meta-templates

|

* single-level warning and notice templates

|}

That arrangement was illogical.

Either--

# we create a details page with all user warning and block templates

# we give each category its own page (present solution); or

# we organize the pages based on a logical classification (such as one page for both multi- and single- level warnings/notices, and another page for blocks).

I would be pleased to assist in any of these solutions. Convenience should be the next consideration, so we should go with whichever solution is the most convenient. [[User:Bsherr|Bsherr]] 23:11, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I saw the addition of a link to the blocking templates page placed at the bottom of this page. I think that's a fine temporary measure. My next project will be to place a "contents box" of links to all the template pages at the top of each page. [[User:Bsherr|Bsherr]] 20:03, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

==NOR==-

NOR was added. what is the consensus that the addition of NOR would in the absence of other considerations warrant a block? '''[[User:DGG|DGG]]''' ([[User talk:DGG|talk]]) 06:24, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
