![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Gs/alert. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
![]() | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Gs/alert|topic code}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
Usage
Community-authorised general sanctions (GS) are in effect for some topics on Wikipedia. Users editing these pages may be alerted that general sanctions are in effect. You must use this template to do so.
Alerts ensure a user knows what is expected of them. Alerts are a neutral courtesy; never use them to intimidate, coerce, or shame another editor.
To alert a user, open a new section on their user talk page. Paste the following code into it, replacing topic code – see list
with the corresponding code from the table below. Type an appropriate subject line, then save the page.
{{subst:Gs/alert|topic code here – select from list}} ~~~~
Logging
Using this template will trigger EditFilter 602. As a result, your edit containing the alert will be tagged with "discretionary sanctions alert". Edits with this tag can be searched for in user contributions, user talk page histories, Special:RecentChanges, and the log of EditFilter 602.
Therefore, an automatic system log of all alerts is maintained. You need not do anything except leave the alert.
To see whether a user has been alerted to general sanctions, load the history of their user talk page and search for discretionary sanctions alert
under the 'tag filter' field. You can use the {{Ds/log}} template (usually alongside {{user}} in noticeboard reports) to quickly generate links for conducting searches of issued alerts.
Additionally, current instances of the template are tracked here and counted here. Alerts that were subsequently deleted from the user's talk page will only appear in the EditFilter log, so this is the primary tracking mechanism.
Codes
When leaving a user an Alert, you must replace |topic code – select from list
with the relevant topic code:
Lua error in Module:Sanctions at line 410: attempt to index local 'title' (a boolean value).
Standardised community-authorised general sanctions templates
This section transcluded from: Template:Gs/topics/single notice [edit] [GS template subpages]
Alerting
- {{Gs/alert}}, to alert an editor to active sanctions
- {{Gs/talk notice}}, for announcing GS in a talk page messagebox
- {{Gs/editnotice}}, for topics, or individual pages, where additional restrictions apply
- EditFilter 602, which automates the logging of alerts
- Log of recent alerts
Enforcement
- {{Gs/sanction}}, for telling a user they have been sanctioned
- {{Uw-csblock}}, for notifying users of community sanctions blocks
- {{Gs/topics}} & {{Gs/topics/table}}, the lists of topics currently under community sanctions
- Discretionary sanctions enforcement templates, the category for all standardised enforcement-related GS templates
- Various GS templates
- {{Ds/log}}, to display links for searching whether a user has ever been alerted; use like/alongside {{user}}.
Whenever community sanctions are (de)authorised for a topic, update Module:Sanctions/data.
