User talk:Sandbox for user warnings

WP:UWSB

To all users: Please feel free to leave any warnings or notices here, or to use this page as you would any other sandbox. If possible, consider reverting or undoing your own edits, especially if adding a template that categorizes this page (such as an indefinite block notice).

This is useful for performing tests using tools (such as Huggle, Twinkle, RedWarn or Ultraviolet), which will only issue a user notice on a user's page. Please do not use this page to test advance reporting and vetting (ARV), speedy deletion (CSD), nominate for deletion (XFD), or request page protection (RPP), as these notify administrators. Also, please do not test Unlink, as this will make this sandbox useless.

Note: Please do not report this user to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism based on the warnings which you may see here, since they are merely tests. (Check this user's contributions.)

Please leave this explanation in place, and perform your test edits below.

Hello, I'm Windows.dll. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Password, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. yes i am willing to seek consensus and i have read the edit warring policy (talk) 23:57, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Password. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. yes i am willing to seek consensus and i have read the edit warring policy (talk) 23:58, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Password. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. yes i am willing to seek consensus and i have read the edit warring policy (talk) 00:02, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
