Breaking changes
editIn the context of this notice, "breaking changes" are any changes to a template that change how it is used, for example adding, removing, or renaming any parameters, or changing the required format of the input to a parameter.
For notice templates (like Category:User warning templates), rewordings of the template's contents that change the tone or central message of the template are also considered a breaking change.
