Template usage notes
  • Most test(n) templates take a single optional parameter: the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning.
  • test5 optionally takes two parameters:
    1. The first is the duration of the block (with "temporarily blocked" as the default if a specific period is not provided).
    2. The second is the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning.
  • Please refer to the index of test templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
  • Please remember to substitute the template—use {{subst:Idw-noncom-deleted}} rather than {{Idw-noncom-deleted}}.

This template should be applied to the User Talk page of a user who has uploaded images that have been deleted by an admin following tagging with/for reasons in line with {{db-noncom}}, or that appear automatically in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion due to the use of a restricted license.
