This template warns people on the talk page that arbitration discretionary sanctions have been authorised. Discretionary sanctions allow administrators to act quickly and decisively to prevent misconduct.
The template requires you to declare which arbitration decision authorised discretionary sanctions, by specifying a #decision code.
You should place the template at the top of the talk page, below the header (if used) but above all other templates.
The template places the page into Category:Wikipedia pages under discretionary sanctions or Category:Pages with discretionary sanctions editnotice depending on usage unless nocat=yes is included.
Anyone may place a discretionary sanctions talk page notice.[1]
The page it is placed on must be within the topic area of the arbitration case. Keep in mind that many topic areas are "broadly construed". Clarification of whether a page is in a topic area can be requested at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment.
Use
You may use this on the article talk page. You may also use it in an article edit notice for general information; however, edit notices about a special "page restriction" deployed under discretionary sanctions should instead be advertised using the special {{Ds/editnotice}} template.

Styles
The default is a wordy and detailed message:
{{Ds/talk notice|saq|long}} gives:
Error: The code letter saq for the topic area in this contentious topics talk notice is not recognised or declared. Please check the documentation.
Alternatively there is a more concise, bold-print message:
{{Ds/talk notice|tpm|brief}} gives:
 | The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, which is a contentious topic. Please consult the procedures and edit carefully. |
Decision codes
Note that the ap and tpm topic codes are interchangeable. tpm is preferred.
If an article has sanctions but doesn't fit into one of the above topic areas, this template is unsuitable. Use {{sanctions}} instead.
