- Please refer to the index of message templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
- When using multi-level templates, in some cases you need not start with a level-1 warning. See Wikipedia:WikiProject User warnings/Usage and layout § Levels.
- Please remember to substitute the template using
{{subst:Uw-ffd1}} rather than {{uw-ffd1}}.
