An important message

This notice has been left for you because another Misplaced Pages user suspects that, perhaps innocently, you may have defamed someone in your contributions. Please recheck your edits. Do not make allegations against someone unless you have provided evidence from a reliable publication, and then make sure you describe the allegations in accordance with our content policies, particularly Misplaced Pages:Verifiability and Misplaced Pages:No original research. Don't rely on hearsay, rumours, or things you believe without evidence to be facts, and don't use sources to create a novel narrative. Misplaced Pages requires reliable sources for all claims. Please see our policy on biographies of living persons.

If you may have inadvertently defamed someone in an article, do two things:

  1. If the material is still there, remove it immediately. You may wish to use an edit summary like "Removing possible defamation" to prevent it from being reverted.
  2. Leave a note on the administrator's noticeboard saying that you have accidentally included defamatory claims in a named article or articles. Do not repeat the claim(s). The revision(s) containing the material can then be deleted from the page history.



Template usage notes
  • Most testN and related templates take a single optional parameter: the name of the page to which the template is referring. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning.
    • test5 optionally takes two parameters:
      1. Duration of the block (defaults to "temporarily blocked");
      2. Name of the page to which the template is referring. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning.
  • Before placing any of these templates on a user's talk page, please refer to the index of test templates in case there is a more appropriate template there for you to use. This should minimize the possibility of the user being confused by your message.
  • Please remember to substitute the template (i.e. use {{subst:Defwarn}} rather than {{Defwarn}}).
