Classic Wdefcon look, redesigned to userbox width. V60 干什么？ · VDemolitions 17:01, 27 April 2007 (UTC) DeltaQuad's version, now adopted by JBW
User:AzaToth's version
Based on AzaToth's, though the appearance is styled after the "infobox" class. -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 14:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC) User:Gandoman's version
Based on User:DakAD's, but the "Vandalism" header changes in size according to the level of vandalism. User:Misza13's version
digital_me's version
Note: This has a white border. See my userpage for how it looks.--digital_me(TalkˑContribs) 21:31, 13 June 2006 (UTC) User:Herostratus' version
Darn. If a sig is over about 16 characters it breaks this template by forcing it to be longer than a userbox. Is there any solution to this I wonder. Herostratus 04:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism Level
Userbox style
A fully detailed userbox based on the colored box style.– BrandonXLF (talk) 04:58, 15 July 2022 (UTC) Nautical version
Based on the US Weather Service's maritime warning flags. 5=no warning 4=small craft warning 3=gale warning 2=storm warning 1=hurricane warning. Adopted in the 1950's and until recently flown at US Coast Guard stations etc. Admittedly US-centric. Also, the double flags would be flown on one pole, but that made the graphic too tall... Herostratus 04:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC) Note: The Level 5 image has been deleted.--The Master of Mayhem 19:54, 1 April 2011 (UTC) User:Timrem's Version
Not really based on anything. Gracenotes' version
A tabbed version. It includes everything, but is meant to be compact... will probably improve visual appearance later. There is also an option, "type" (for lack of better parameter name in actual code), default at 100%, that determines the width of the template. It can be anything like 100% or 300px, but keeping the width above 40% or 250px should make the tabs be proportional on computer monitors with lower display resolution. Above, it's at 50%, with a center align. GracenotesT § 20:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC) Microtony's version
MrSomeone's version
UBX style. User:Animum's versions
Normal levels of vandalism 
3.07 RPM according to DeadbeefBot 23:52, 26 August 2025 (UTC) The new version of the deprecated {{Wikihermitalert}}. Note that it works because User:Magnus animum/Wdefcon redirects to the page containing the actual code, User:Animum/Vandalism information. Simple userbox
Demilitarized version
bainer's WP:DENY-friendly version. Box
Utilizes the infobox CSS class (so the heading only appears highlighted like that if it's embedded in, say, another infobox. Or this collapse box). The type parameter defines the box's width, and noinfo can remove either the signatures, the info, or the level description and the info (see the above examples). -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 19:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC) CON6R355's version
FastLizard4's version
NASCAR Fan24's version
Based off of Herostratus' nautical version. I created the images myself, changed the colours around, and played with the coding in other trivial ways. As an added bonus, the images use the Roadgeek 2005 series fonts. NF24(radio me!Editor review) 21:26, 10 November 2007 (UTC) DoppioM version
Based off the DHS Advisory System - I should load better images... DoppioM TGHE Retford's version {{Vandalism information|prefix=User:Tghe-retford/}}
Simple layout version which integrates well into columns on userpages, as seen on my user page. --tgheretford (talk) 01:17, 26 July 2008 (UTC) Flyingidiot's Simple inline template

White currently with advantage. 3.07 RPM according to DeadbeefBot APerson's template
Forked from Flyingidiot's version. APerson (talk!) 18:42, 16 March 2015 (UTC) ToonLucas22's template
Based on some other Wdefcon templates and whatnot. Very simple and useful for mobile users (which don't support the other templates). EDIT: Dang it, mobiles aren't seem to support this template. --TL22 (talk) 00:36, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Nuvola version
Like the previous one but with nuvola signs instead of ambox signs for people who prefer Nuvola. (Level 5 and 4 signs are unaffected) --TL22 (talk) 01:15, 3 April 2015 (UTC) PorkchopGMX’s template
This template is based off the wikitables for each category at Saffir-Simpson scale. The category and actual level are switched because higher vandalism types are considered to be more intense. The nautical version by Herostratus above can be used as an alternative to this. PorkchopGMX 13:07, 9 October 2018 (UTC) ZLEA's version
