::::Huggle uses its own warning messages. However, for these messages to be correctly identified by certain automated processes, such as [[User:ClueBot|ClueBot]], they have to contain a comment of the form <tt><nowiki><!-- Template:Uw-* --></nowiki></tt> with the <tt>*</tt> replaced by the warning type and level. Huggle therefore inserts such comments, but in doing so gives the impression that the warning messages exist as templates, which they do not. These supposed template names are redirected to roughly equivalent actual templates in case anyone actually tries to use them – [[User talk:Gurchzilla|Gurchzilla]] 18:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

== Older set of warnings don't match with current set ==

There is an older set of warning templates (such as [[Template:Test4]]) in which the final warning reads "this is your last warning" whereas in the newer set the warnings read "this is the last warning you will receive for you disruptive edits". I think that the warnings should match. If no one has any objections within a week's time, I'll change one to match the other.--[[User:Urban Rose|<font color="purple" face="comic sans ms">Urban</font>]] [[User talk:Urban Rose|<font color="red" face="Papyrus">Rose</font>]] 01:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

:Please do not touch the old warnings as you will incur the wrath of certain editors who do not like the standardised system. Look through the archive discussions here and at [[WT:UW]] for more info.

== Supplying multiple links in the same template ==

Most of these templates (if not all) are {{tlx|uw-example|article|some text}}. Why not at least allowing {{tlx|uw-something|article1|some text|article2}}? I've also tried {{uw-example|article1]] and [[article2}} but you see what (at least currently) happens... -[[Special:Contributions/62.219.107.171|62.219.107.171]] ([[User talk:62.219.107.171|talk]]) 21:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

:These templates are boilerplate to fit most circumstances, the cases where two article names are required are rare and I would suggest this would be an ideal example for a handwritten warning. ^{[[User:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#6633cc>Khu</font>''']][[User_talk:Khukri|'''<font face="verdana" color=#CC66FF>kri</font>''']]} 10:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== One thing: Not Clear ==

One thing about this article isn't clear to me. So ''when'' do you take a step up to the next level of warning templates?

:There's no rigid rule for warnings, but generally you should increase the level if the user does not heed previous warnings and continues to disrupt. Starting with level one, then going to two if the user continues, then three if he/she does it again, etc., is a pretty standard method. However, such a progression is not mandatory; for example, if a user has no warnings and is ''blatantly'' vandalizing articles, you may want to begin with <nowiki>{{subst:uw-vandalism3}}</nowiki>. It's all about discretion, really. [[User:Nufy8|Nufy8]] ([[User talk:Nufy8|talk]]) 16:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

::So if I see another warning in the user's talk page, say a '''Level 1''' warning about a different article. So if that person vandalizes again, should I put in a level 2 warning?
