Template:Uw-talkfork/sandbox
Hi Uw-talkfork! I noticed that you recently started the same discussion in multiple places. For future reference, to help keep discussion centralized, please avoid this. Instead, open a discussion one on page, and then share a neutral invitation to other pages (you can use {{Please see|Destination page#Section}} for this).
Existing talk forks can be resolved by merging to a single destination: cut and paste the comments to move them from the source page to the destination page, leaving {{Moved discussion to|Destination page#Section|~~~~}} at the source and adding {{Moved discussion from|Source page#Section|~~~~}} at the destination. Thank you.
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Uw-talkfork (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
Template documentation | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Uw-talkfork}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
How to use:
{{subst:Uw-talkfork}}{{subst:Uw-talkfork||Additional text}}or{{subst:Uw-talkfork|2=Additional text}}adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you"
- Please remember to substitute the template using
{{subst:Uw-talkfork}}rather than{{Uw-talkfork}}. - To give greater detail to your message, you may add the article and some additional text to the end of the template. If such article or additional text includes a URL or anything which includes an equal sign ("="), it may break the parser's function unless you prefix the article or the text with a named template parameter. Use "
1=" if the article contains an equals sign and use "2=" if the additional text contains an equals sign (such as a URL). - Please refer to the index of message templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
- This template automatically populates the relevant category with the user page. If and when the user account gets blocked, or approximately eight weeks pass with no further action, that categorization is automatically removed.
- This standardized template conforms to guidelines by the user warnings project. 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.
- This is the documentation for the {{Single notice}} standardized template, as used by several single-level user warnings or notice templates. It is located at Template:Single notice/inner(edit talk links history).
