An acceptable use policy (AUP) (also acceptable usage policy or fair use policy (FUP)) is a set of rules applied by the owner, creator, possessor or administrator of a computer network, website, or service that restricts the ways in which the network, website or system may be used and sets guidelines as to how it should be used.
The editor using the template may not be aware how familiar the user is with policy, or may not themselves consider the template use rude.

The policy allows projects (with the exception of Wikimedia Commons) to adopt an exemption doctrine policy allowing the use of non-free content. Their use should be minimal and confined (with limited exceptions) to illustrating historically significant events, to include identifying protected works such as logos, or to complement (within narrow ...
Block templates differ from user warning templates in two fundamental ways.

This is resolved by typing out your signature (typically ~~~~) as the first parameter.
Policies and guidelines can also be navigated via categories, the navigation template or by custom search boxes (as seen below). See also Community standards and advice – a quick directory of community norms and related guidance essays.
