JFHavoc Talk to Me! — I once took an IQ test and got a score of over 9000. You're all morons. — 16:26, January 7, 2010 (UTC) There's something that I've been curious about for a little while, but it's never been that big a deal so I let it go. If someone is vandalizing pages I know the right thing to do would be to tell a staff member, but even so I've seen some users using Warning Templates. Are the Warning Templates just for staff members or can normal users use them if necessary?

LevL Fear my mighty instruments! I've seen some not-staff people, including me, using those warning templates, so I believe everybody may use them.

KrytenKoro - Most bears were content to live their lives, mauling and eating one, maybe two humans at most. "Mass-murder," as the bears always said, "is for the sharks." But not Barry. Barry was different. He knew that one day, he would kill ALL of the humans. This is the inspiring, tear-jerking story of one bear and the dream he dared to dream. TALK - As I understand it, any editor can warn another editor. However, only official warnings from a mod or admin count towards a block or ban. Honestly, I've seen them abused in the past, and I would personally prefer if non-mods would just state their objection (politely and impassionately), rather than using the template. It doesn't look good if we have multiple editors jumping on a new editor for the same mistake, and using unprofessional warning reasons.
