Bulbapedia:Warning policy: Difference between revisions

While it is permitted of users and staff to type up unique messages, we also provide [[:Category:Warning templates|templates that provide default warnings.]] To use them, simply place a <nowiki>{{subst:____}} on their talk page, with ___ being whatever the name of the template is. For example, preview warnings use {{subst:Preview button}}.</nowiki> Warnings come with section headers, so you don't need to include those into the message. While warning templates are convenient, they don't get every point across, so it's sometimes better to type a message specifically for that user as opposed to using a generated message.
