Twinkle warning templates
[edit]Hi CrazyBoy826,
I noticed you created the templates {{uw-disruptive1}}, {{uw-disruptive2}}, {{uw-disruptive3}}, {{uw-disruptive4}}. English Wikisource deliberately does not use enwp-style warning templates, so please do not use these here. It is also generally not a good idea to use tools designed for enwp (like Twinkle) here without careful consideration (they tend to make assumptions that do not necessarily hold true on this project). Could you explain what your purpose in creating these templates here is? --Xover (talk) 06:31, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Xover: I recently found some vandals and tried to warn them, but I didn't find any warning templates, so I made them. Are there already other warning templates? CrazyBoy826 (talk) 16:44, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- We do not use templates for that on Wikisource. --Xover (talk) 17:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Xover: Composing a message each time takes extra time. On Wikipedia, when you look at vandalism, the vandalism is reverted in the same minute or one minute after. Composing a warning each time slows this down. CrazyBoy826 (talk) 17:45, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- A high volume of semi-automated warnings is not a goal on the project. --Xover (talk) 18:13, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
