The purpose of this WikiProject is to standardise and improve user warning templates, and make them conform to technical guidelines. User talk templates are placed on users' talk pages to advise a user against actions that disrupt Wikipedia, to advise editors of common mistakes, or to place a standard boilerplate note at the top of a page.
This template assists documentation of a user warning template by listing all of the templates in that series.

Note: If there have been multiple warnings, add the template {} (or {{Repeated abuse}} if the account has been repeatedly blocked) at the top of the warnings section. User warnings and block messages should be placed without line breaks.

You may discuss the visual appearance of these standardized templates (e.g. the image in the top-left corner) at the user warning talk page. Please refer to the index of message templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best ...
