Template talk:Last warning

Can you really state the reason a last warning is issued?

{{lastwarn|2=insulting other users}} (Just an example)

Now let's see what it looks like.

Doesn't work.

It doesn't work. The example doesn't even work (even with that "g" removed). Someone should fix this.

What really sucks is that I can't fix this! >X(

{{lastwarng|2=inserting false information on [[page]]}}

Seriously? That g at the end of lastwarn? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 16:50, 29 March 2011 (EDT)

I think it is saying "last warning"

Remembered Old Buddy

No, it's supposed to be "lastwarn", but somebody accidentally put in a 'g'. Yoshiwaker

See, if I included that "g", the template doesn't even show up.

{{lastwarng|2=inserting false information on [[page]]}}

Instead ^this^ crops up. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:25, 29 March 2011 (EDT)

Shouldn't it say the way you have been on the template instead of in any way?Mr Man 14:10, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

No. PikaSamus (talk)

"In any way" refers to any, even very small, infraction of the rules, so there's the reason for the "no". MrConcreteDonkey 14:18, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

Per this -- and to clarify, this is mainly telling the offending user who committed a major breach of the rules that they are walking on thin ice; if they committ one more screw-up, those of us who are admins will be forced to take action (via handing out blocks against those who need to be held accountable). --M.

The link needs to have the capitalization removed so it goes to the right section (same for Template:Userspace, Template:Reminder and Template:Warning). Niiue (talk) 02:32, 5 October 2015 (EDT)

The Lastwarn template

Im the only editor that lives in Israel, the Hand means hello in my region, so can ya'll make region specific Lastwarn Templates? TabuuandPeach 18:10, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

That is not necessary. We can't make little changes because it might mean something else in other regions. Heck, in Greece, I believe it's considered disrespectful to show an open palm. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:27, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

Well People in the Middle East like me say that an open palm means hello. And they may break the rules again if they got a Last Warning. I think it should be replaced with a stop sign, us in the Middle East knows a stop sign means like the back of their hands. TabuuandPeach 21:02, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

This template is only meant to warn users for breaking the rules, and as Bazooka Mario said, will not be tailored to different users' views, so please stop. If we did that then there would be at least a hundred different versions of the same template. Also the image is more of an aesthetic; the text is what matters and if users can get the point, regardless of what they interpret the image as, it's all that's needed.--driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 22:33, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

"I'm from X and Y is interpreted as Z" is totally irrelevant, end of discussion. J-Luigi (talk) 22:58, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

@Driftmaster130 and @Roy Koopa, im trying to say that it shoulc be replaced with a Stop Sign and nothing else. TabuuandPeach 00:15, 7 May 2016 (EDT)

It won't be replaced. The text makes it quite evident what this wants to achieve. --™ The 'Shroom 00:28, 7 May 2016 (EDT)

Reasons

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

I see this has been discussed before, but why isn't a reason necessary with this warning template? I made a test draft here which allows users to add a reason for issuing the last warning (the last sentence is optional; if they don't specify a reason it will read like how it is now, similar to how a regular {{warning}} does without an input).--driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 12:44, 4 June 2016 (EDT)

Yeah, this makes sense. I'd highly consider making a proposal for this. --Andymii (talk) 00:26, 8 June 2016 (EDT)

As a general comment, the brief reasoning to be potentially included in the template is not to be a replacement of the explanation that usually follows a Last Warning. Even if the reasoning is listed on the template, users should aim to be more detailed on the offenses that led to the LW.--™ The 'Shroom 22:33, 8 June 2016 (EDT)

I also thought this was supposed to be an upgrade from the regular warning template, so the reasons here in paper should be the same as the warning. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 00:35, 9 June 2016 (EDT)

My opinion on this is that if you get a Last Warning, you better read the entire message provided to you on your Talk Page at least three times until you fully understand what you've done wrong. Last Warnings are fickle things: you don't want to issue a Last Warning without there being a solid reason for it. I feel as if introducing a {{{reason}}} parameter for this template is detrimental to this, since this will likely increase the amount of Last Warnings issued. It's incredibly easy to fall in the trap of thinking that filling in the {{{reason}}} parameter is good enough and then follow up with a short remark, but for a Last Warning I don't feel like this is an option. Again, issuing a Last Warning is no joke. There should always be multiple other options available to you before you issue a Last Warning, and every second spent writing a warning message will likely give you time to reassure yourself that what you're doing is actually the right thing to do. Bazooka Mario (talk) also brings forward a good point: a Last Warning is there to upgrade the threat level to your editing privileges. If there are additional reasons why the Last Warn was received, those better damn be represented in the Talk Page message that accompanies the Last Warning. Overall, I don't like this at all.
