ഫലകം:Warningorigin/വിവരണം

• This template adds a line below a warning to list: the original location (defaults to page-user's talkpage); original posting user; original posting time-and-date; and/or the diff of the original warning.

• This may be useful if you want to indicate the author and time-and-date of an unsigned warning; if you archive warnings off your talk page; or if you want to quote a warning anywhere else.

• This template takes four expected parameters (not required, but expected either in sequence or by named variable):
  1. location=   The page where this warning was originally posted (without double-brackets). If you are using this template in your own userspace, for instance on your own /Warnings subpage, location defaults to your own talkpage. If you are using this template outside your own userspace, or referring to a warning posted on any other page, then specify the pagename (without double-brackets) as location=pagename.
  2. user=   The username who posted it (without the "User:" prefix); if unsigned, see your talkpage history.
  3. time=   The UTC time-and-date of the original warning, as seen first in its entry on your talkpage history.
  4. oldid=   The "oldid=" number of the warning's diff, as seen in the URLs of the entry's "(cur)", "(last)", and time-and-date links.

Usage

• For the least typing, just provide the values in location - user - time - oldid sequence:

Code:

{{warningorigin|User talk:EVula|Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354}}

Result:

— Preceding warning originally posted on User talk:EVula (diff) by Ben (talk⋅contribs) 09:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• If the named variables are used, these don't need to be kept in the same sequence:

Code:

{{warningorigin|user=Ben|time=09:47, 26 February 2007|oldid=111045354|location=User talk:EVula}}

Result:

— Preceding warning originally posted on User talk:EVula (diff) by Ben (talk⋅contribs) 09:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• As long as the correct "oldid" is provided, the location is not really necessary:

Code:

{{warningorigin||Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354}}

Result:

— Preceding warning originally posted here by Ben (talk⋅contribs) 09:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• If other values are left out, the template will simply bypass them:

Code:

{{warningorigin|User talk:EVula}}

Result:

— Preceding warning originally posted on User talk:EVula

• If you want to have your own /Warnings subpage, you may also find {{warningsonsubpage}} helpful.
