Templates

Paws off!

edit

This template warns other editors that they are in userspace and probably shouldn't be editing the page they're looking at unless they have a very good reason.

Usage: {{User:Skysmurf/Templates/PawsOff| user }}

Hint: the user parameter could contain something like user {{User0|Skysmurf}}.

Examples:

{{User:Skysmurf/Templates/PawsOff | user {{User0|Skysmurf}}}}

produces

{{User:Skysmurf/Templates/PawsOff | [[Elvis]]}}

produces

Trash

edit

I use this template to replace comments on my talkpage that I find offensive.

Usage: {{User:Skysmurf/Templates/Trash| username | reason(s) }}

Example:

{{User:Skysmurf/Templates/Trash | Some Asshole |
* Abusive language.
* He claims to be living on the moon.
}}
