If you've never used a particular template before, or have not used it recently, read it (e.g., with preview ) to ensure it actually says what you want to say. If you are new to user warning templates, please read the usage and layout page first. If you want to design a new template, please read the guidelines found on the design guidelines page first.

Description
All levels
Gives title and date to make it quicker to warn users
{{subst :AntiVandal
If you want to change the name of a series, or propose a new multi-level series, make sure to leave a note about it on WT:UTM , so that it can be fully integrated as a warning template if there are no major objections. Before creating new templates, please check to see if the template in mind already exists, to avoid duplication. Note: User warning templates are generally semi-protected. However, creation of a template does not automatically semi-protect it; be sure to request semi-protection. In the meantime, make sure the template does not erroneously indicate that it is already semi-protected.
If you add any templates here, please make sure to add them to the respective page "Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace/XXX templates".
In early 2007, the multi-level templates underwent a harmonisation program by the WikiProject user warnings . The old template grid may still be found here here
