:There are only templates for the more common problems, and even then they aren't a substitute for a good ol' personal message. All the templates are listed on the project page.

== {{tl|Uw-tblock}} ==

I am considering bringing this template to TfD to be honest. I don't think it is a good idea to template people to tell them that it is bad to make death threats. What do you think? -- [[User:Lucasbfr|lucasbfr]] ^{[[User talk:Lucasbfr|<font color="darkblue">talk</font>]]} 14:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

:I didn't think death and legal (until it's withdrawn) threats were temporary blocks, but yea I'd go along with that Lucas ^{[[User:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#6633cc>Khu</font>''']][[User_talk:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#CC66FF>kri</font>''']]} 14:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

::I was so stunned by the by the big bold '''making death threats''' that I didn't see that! :D. Note that the legal threats one makes more sense, since [[WP:NLT]] is policy. -- [[User:Lucasbfr|lucasbfr]] ^{[[User talk:Lucasbfr|<font color="darkblue">talk</font>]]} 14:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

:Note there is also {{tl|Deaththreatblock}} for indef-blocks. -- [[user:zzuuzz|zzuuzz]] ^{[[user_talk:zzuuzz|(talk)]]} 14:39, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

::Should I bring one to tfd I'll bring the other then. Note that this one is only transcluded on 3 pages. -- [[User:Lucasbfr|lucasbfr]] ^{[[User talk:Lucasbfr|<font color="darkblue">talk</font>]]} 15:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

:::I've been meaning to get round to TfDing it since I saw [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Deaththreatblock&oldid=127091197 this version]. The obvious solution with the uw-tblock template is to reword it so that it refers to ''inappropriate'' threats, or similar. There are many types of threat which will earn a block, some of them are temporary, and vandalism does not always seem to be an apt description. -- [[user:zzuuzz|zzuuzz]] ^{[[user_talk:zzuuzz|(talk)]]} 16:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

::::I think the templates would suffice if they simply said "making threats" rather than "making death threats". Same with the legal threat {{t1|Uw-lblock}} template. If we say "death" and "legal" threats, that is a) too much information; and b) putting specific ideas in other unscrupulous user's heads.--'''[[User:12 Noon|<font color="8b0000">12&nbsp;N</font><font color="a9a9a9">oo</font><font color="8b0000">n</font>]][[User talk:12 Noon|&nbsp;^2¢]]''' 16:42, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

:::::Very good idea. ^{[[User:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#6633cc>Khu</font>''']][[User_talk:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#CC66FF>kri</font>''']]} 17:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

::::::How does "Threatening to take real world actions" sound, if you want a template? I dunno to be honest, [[WP:DENY]] pops in my mind when I imagine a situation where I would use such a template (Personally I think the NLT one should be kept though, for it is a convenient way to let the user know exactly why they are blocked). -- [[User:Lucasbfr|lucasbfr]] ^{[[User talk:Lucasbfr|<font color="darkblue">talk</font>]]} 18:59, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

== user page ==

Hi,

I seem to have inadvertently vandalised my own user page when I clumsily tried to add a sandbox. Unfortunately I can't see to undo or revert the change. Can anyone help?--[[User:Mrg3105|Mrg3105]] ([[User talk:Mrg3105|talk]]) 01:34, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

:Not entirely sure what you are looking for, but if you put {{tl|db-userreq}} at the top of your "vandalized" user page, an admin will probably come along and delete it for you. --[[User:Kralizec!|Kralizec!]] ([[User talk:Kralizec!|talk]]) 01:43, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
