Warning

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is to highlight the importance / warn, commonly for use on talk pages. It is used to visually draw attention inline in a message, to a warning about something, such as inappropriate editor behavior, a coding difficulty to watch out for, etc. It is not used in article namespace, but it can be used in other namespaces.

You may either use {{warning sign}} by itself for the default message or you may add a custom message as an optional parameter.

Previously known as {{warnsign}}.
