Other behavior: see Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace.

Warning templates should always be used with the "subst:" keyword, as strongly suggested on Wikipedia:Template substitution. They are shown without subst here to reduce the display space occupied by this table, not to encourage their use without subst. For example, type {{subst:uw-vandalism1}}~~~~ (not {{uw-vandalism1}}) to warn common first-time vandals.

The levels of templates are:

  1. Assumes good faith
  2. No faith assumption
  3. Assumes bad faith; stern cease and desist
  4. Assumes bad faith; strong cease and desist, last warning

Numbers 3 are always blunt no-nonsense stop it templates. Number 4s are you will be blocked if you do it one more time, while number 5 are you have been blocked templates.
