== Author's note ==

Yes, this is something of a joke, but I have already used it twice in the couple of days since I created it. "Birthday" vandalism is so common that I once made a request on [[WP:AN]] to semiprotect all date articles such as [[February 15]] because of excessive vandalism.

== Graphic ==

How come we're using the old style stop sign graphic on this one? '''[[User:Mr Senseless|Mister Senseless]]&trade;''' ([[User_talk:Mr Senseless|Speak]] - [[Special:Contributions/Mr_Senseless|Contributions]]) 09:36, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

== Non-latin characters? ==

This seems like a borderline guideline for usernames, and inappropriate as a reason for blocking someone or as a potential reason given in this message. Can we remove that section? If it suggests anywhere that having non-latin chars is a reason for blocking a username, we should change that. [[User:Sj|+sj ]][[User Talk:Sj|+]] 04:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

== Steel's changes ==

I like them. The red octagon was too harsh, this is better. [[User:pschemp|pschemp]] | [[User talk:pschemp|talk]] 16:23, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

:{{not done}} There is no good place to put that and most administrators know or can figure it out already.

== Edit request from {{user|Tellyaddict}} ==

{{tl|editprotected}}

I would like to change it so it says '''Your account has been blocked indefinitely as a result of your inappropriate username''' instead of '''Your username has been blocked indefinitely''' as the actual account is blocked and not just the username, this to avoid confusion.<b>[[User:Tellyaddict|<font color="FF4040">Te</font><font color="FF9900">ll</font><font color="FFEE00">y</font>]][[User talk:Tellyaddict|<font color="FFEE00">a</font><font color="FF9900">ddi</font><font color="FF4040">ct</font>]]</b> 14:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

== semi protected ==

This template is no longer fully protected, since all the other UW templates are semi protected. I am not sure whether or not many people watch this page, but if you want information about the [[WP:UW]] templates, '''please leave a note at [[WT:UW]]'''. Thanks! -- [[User:Lucasbfr|lucasbfr]] ^{[[User talk:Lucasbfr|<font color="darkblue">talk</font>]]} 12:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

== Update to wording ==

I've updated the wording, which was unnecessarily lengthy, and a bit BITEy. The main audience for this message is especially, users who have never edited before, or are creating new accounts, so it matters above average not to deter or even accidentally, BITE.

== Unpropper ==

I don't think the text ''further action may be taken against you.'' to be proper in this context. As we all knwon, threads only encourage vandals.

== Template restored after change ==

A change was made to this template on 17 Dec, without discussion. I only discovered this after using the template for blocking of a vandalism-only account. When it rendered after subst, it did not say provide the words that I expected, nor completely give the editor the reason for the block. "Vandalism only" is a slightly different reason than "persistent vandalism"; and in fact, in the blocking page, "vandalism" and "vandalism-only" are separate choices in the drop down reason. For that reason, I'm restoring it to the previous version. Please discuss any changes here as this change potential affects many admins. &mdash; [[User:{{{User|ERcheck}}}|{{{User|ERcheck}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{User|ERcheck}}}|talk]]) 13:23, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

:Ow, to be honest I didn't think the wording would be an issue. [[WP:BRD|I don't think it is such a good idea]] to have so many templates, but I don't feel strongly about it :). -- [[User:Lucasbfr|lucasbfr]] ^{[[User talk:Lucasbfr|<font color="darkblue">talk</font>]]} 14:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

== Level 4 warnings ==

The level 4 warnings all seem to state that the next incidence of vandalism or other disruption will result in a block. I was wondering whether non-admins are allowed to use these templates since non-admins do not actually have the ability to block even if they see more disruptive editing. --[[User:Hydraton31|Hydraton31]] ([[User talk:Hydraton31|talk]]) 21:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

:Absolutely. The idea is to give the level four warning then take the matter to [[WP:AIV]] if vandalism continues. Just be sure you are using the warning for obvious vandalism, or they won't get blocked and you lose a little credibility.--<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype">[[User:Kubigula|Kubigula]] ''([[User talk:Kubigula|talk]])''</span> 22:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
