Joking on Wikipedia

I have to say that the heading and edit summary comment were funny, but be careful about doing a lot of these since some editors may see it as disruptive instead of something done in good fun. You seem to have made some good edits where you corrected various errors so I don't think that you're a vandal but just be a little cautious. Not everyone has the best sense of humor on here.

Hi.

Thanks for recently undoing vandalism. In future, when you undo vandalism, could you please use the appropriate template to warn the user (IP or registered) to stop their behaviour?

There are many different warning templates available to use. Here are some popular ones. Please see their documentation pages for instructions.

{{subst:Test}} - For an obviously not malicious, but clearly not helpful mistake.
{{subst:Uw-vandalism1}} - For the first case of vandalism.
{{subst:Uw-vandalism2}} - For the second case.
{{subst:Uw-vandalism3}} - Third.
{{subst:Uw-vandalism4}} - Fourth or final warning.
{{subst:Uw-vandalism4im}} - Last or only warning for severe situations.

Each time we use these warnings they should be placed under the title "==November 2024==" (updated to the current month and year), on the user's talk page. If previous warnings have been given under that title, add the next level warning beneath the others, within that section. Clearly, individual cases must be dealt with as seems fit. If the user has not been actively vandalizing for a few weeks or months, start a new section.

The value of warning is three fold.

Firstly: it may be heeded.
Secondly: it allows other editors to quickly see if that user has been vandalizing frequently or recently.
Lastly: administrators require that warnings have been given before they can or will act against persistent vandals.

If a vandal is on a spree or has reached a level 4 vandalism warning and is currently active, waste no time in reporting them to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.

Thanks again for helping to protect articles on Wikipedia. Happy editing! Sudo edit this page (talk) 05:07, 26 March 2015 (UTC) Sudo edit this page (talk) 05:07, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
