Template:Uw-username
(Redirected from Template:Usernameconcern)
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Example-bad-username", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.
 | The notifier has not provided a reason why this username violates the username policy. If you do not understand why your username could be inappropriate for Wikipedia, please remove this message and leave a message on the notifier's talk page requesting clarification. |
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Uw-username}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
How to use:
{{subst:Uw-username}}{{subst:Uw-username|Reason}}references a specific reason{{subst:Uw-username|Reason|Additional text}}adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you"{{subst:Uw-username||Additional text}}or{{subst:Uw-username|2=Additional text}}also adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you", but doesn't link a page as specified by the reason.
- Please remember to substitute the template using
{{subst:Uw-username}}rather than{{Uw-username}}. - To give greater detail to your message, you may add the reason and some additional text to the end of the template. If such reason or additional text includes a URL or anything which includes an equal sign ("="), it may break the parser's function unless you prefix the reason or the text with a named template parameter. Use "
1=" if the reason 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).
