Template:Uw-warn
Hello Uw-warn. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you.
- This template is for users who seem to be unaware of the user warning templates. For misuse of warning templates, see {{uw-tempabuse }}.
