== Uw-agf templates ==
I've just discovered that we have the warning templates {{tl|uw-agf1}}, {{tl|uw-agf2}}, and {{tl|uw-agf3}}. Is it just me, or are these templates counterproductive? To me, it seems to be a failure of AGF to put one of these templates on another editor's talk page. If we were really assuming good faith, wouldn't we just leave the editor a message asking them what was wrong? I worry that the only real effect of these templates will be to make the templated editor angry or annoyed, rather than helping to guide them toward following our behavioural guidelines. With behavioural issues like this I'm a big fan of the theory that we should be leading by example, and I think these templates might set a bad precedent here. — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪ talk ♪]]</sup> 15:36, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
:Yes, these templates seem kind of ironic, but so does the {{tl|uw-tempabuse}} series. How does my proposed {{tl|uw-agf4im}} template sound:
:{{stop}} This is your '''only warning'''. If you don't start assuming good faith '''right now, you may be [[WP:BLOCK|blocked from editing]] without further notice.''' [[User:Ginsuloft|Ginsuloft]] ([[User talk:Ginsuloft|talk]]) 00:18, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Meh, How about this: [[image:stop_hand.svg|35px]] This is your '''only warning'''. The next time you assume bad faith on other users '''right now, it could result in a [[WP:BLOCK|loss of editing privileges]].'''

{{Reply to|Mr. Stradivarius}} I think it might be worth taking them to [[WP:TfD|TfD]], especially since they don't really provide any information about exactly what the person needs to do differently. Ginsuloft & DDreth I really can't think of a time when it would be appropriate and necessary to give someone a warning about not AGF which doesn't assume good faith. Any and everytime there is an AGF issue it should be explained and discussed since [[WP:AGF]] depends a lot on personal interpretation of comment.

:I'd just like to clarify that I agree with Mr. Stradivarius. I'm sorry if my comment came off as a bit immature. [[User:Ginsuloft|Ginsuloft]] ([[User talk:Ginsuloft|talk]]) 16:40, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
