::::(ec)If I feel a user falls into the category Kingturtle is talking about, I always give the user ''both'' {{t1|uw-joke1}} '''and''' {{t1|welcome}}. That seems to do the trick in my mind. I believe that all of these "combo" messages are ineffective and I have never used them; whereas 2 separate messages make the appropriate points. Regards. --'''[[User:12 Noon|<font color="8b0000">12 N</font><font color="a9a9a9">oo</font><font color="8b0000">n</font>]][[User talk:12 Noon| <sup>2¢</sup>]]''' 21:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
:::I too use both those links. And that's why it occurred to me to combine them. Just an idea. [[User:Kingturtle|Kingturtle]] ([[User talk:Kingturtle|talk]]) 21:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
== Date page warnings ==
The Wikicalendar articles have guidelines that might not be common knowledge for passing editors. I've created two warnings for use in reference to bad edits to those articles. They tell the user what they did wrong where a regular vandalism warning doesn't tell them much. I propose adding them to the regular template space. They can be viewed at [[user:Mufka/uw-date1]] and [[user:Mufka/uw-date2]]. I also use [[user:Mufka/uw-fd1]] but it's a little less useful for most editors. I like them and I thought others might like them. -- <font color="#000080">Mufka</font> [[User:Mufka|<sup>(u)</sup>]] [[User talk:Mufka|<sup>(t)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Mufka|<sup>(c)]]</sup> 02:46, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
:I dunno, the "guidelines" linked on the proposed messages are just for the WikiProject. The "uw-" template messages usually only reference official policy. Project guidelines are not all that enforceable. Might be a tough sell.

== "uw-huggle"? ==
I just ran my [[User:Anomie/uw-templates|new uw-template detection script]], and among other things a number of templates beginning with [[Special:PrefixIndex/Template:uw-huggle|"uw-huggle"]] were added. What exactly is a "huggle" that it needs to be warned about? [[User:Anomie|Anomie]][[User talk:Anomie|⚔]] 02:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
:[[WP:HUGGLE]] should help. From what I understand, the creator of the vandal-fighting tool did not care for the "uw-" templates and created his own warning templates, but I might have that wrong. However, they seem to now be redirects to the standard "uw-" templates. --'''[[User:12 Noon|<font color="8b0000">12 N</font><font color="a9a9a9">oo</font><font color="8b0000">n</font>]][[User talk:12 Noon| <sup>2¢</sup>]]''' 03:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
::From what I remember of [[Template:Uw-huggle]] that was deleted at the end of the month (my memory might be wrong, but I am not an admin so I cannot check the deleted page to see), that page stated that the Huggle tool doesn't actually use templates, or something along those lines, but it used huggle1, 2 and so on for the benefit of certain other tools (I'm assuming bots and the like, that check for warnings to see which warning to administer next). Again, if an admin can check the text of the deleted page [[Template:Uw-huggle]], I might be wrong, but that's the best I can remember from memory.

:::From the deleted page:
"<noinclude>In order for certain processes to interpret them correctly, user warnings have to end with a comment of the form <tt><nowiki><!-- Template:uw-***n --></nowiki></tt>, where <tt>***</tt> is the warning series name and <tt>n</tt> is the warning level. [[WP:HUGGLE|Huggle]]'s warnings are not generated by templates; however, in order to conform to this pattern, the comments have to give the impression that they are. These non-existent templates all redirect here. They should not actually be used.</noinclude><includeonly>'''This is your last warning.''' If you continue to vandalize, we will send over someone who actually knows how to use warning templates. [[Aluminum bottle]].</includeonly>"
So it looks like the templates are not actually on Wikipedia but is generated by the tool itself. --[[User:Hdt83|<font color="336611" ><b><i>Hdt<font color="blue" >83</font></i></b></font>]] [[User talk:Hdt83|<sup><font color="brown" face="Arial"><b>Chat</b></font></sup>]] 03:46, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
== RFD for uw-vandalism4x and abbreviations ==
This was originally brought up at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject user warnings#Past-last warning]], someone proposed yet another "you have been reported to [[WP:AIV]]" warning, apparently after creating a bunch of redirects into their user space. Based on [[Wikipedia talk:Template messages/User talk namespace/Archive 8#"User reported" templates|past discussion]], I've listed the redirects at [[WP:RFD#Template:uw-vand4x → User:Doczilla/Template:Uw-vandalism4x|RfD]].
