{{subst:User:Avicennasis/Wel|spam=1|spage=Main Page}} Adds:
"Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Main Page do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it."
The spam page function will not work without the spam flag. This does include the comment <!-- Template:uw-spam1 --> for those tools that use it, as well as [[Category:User talk pages with Uw-spam1 notices|{{PAGENAME}}]] just like the standard template.
{{subst:User:Avicennasis/Wel|orgnamecoi=1}} Adds:
"Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.
There are two issues with this:
- You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
- Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.
Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations."
This does include the comment <!-- Template:uw-coi-username -->. It also will automatically include [[Category:User talk pages with conflict of interest notices|{{PAGENAME}}]] and [[Category:Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues|{{PAGENAME}}]] just like the standard template.
{{subst:User:Avicennasis/Wel|trollnameoff=1}} Adds:
"I noticed that your username, USERNAME, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it seems to be offensive to some. Offensive usernames are those that offend other contributors, making harmonious editing difficult or impossible.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing."
This does include the comment <!-- Template:uw-username -->. It also will automatically include [[Category:Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues|{{PAGENAME}}]] just like the standard template.
{{subst:User:Avicennasis/Wel|trollnamedis=1}} Adds:
"I noticed that your username, USERNAME, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it eems to be disruptive to some. Disruptive usernames include outright trolling or personal attacks, include profanities or otherwise show a clear intent to disrupt Wikipedia.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing.
This does include the comment <!-- Template:uw-username -->. It also will automatically include [[Category:Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues|{{PAGENAME}}]] just like the standard template.
{{subst:User:Avicennasis/Wel|realname=1}} Adds:
Your user name appears to be a real name. Our user name policy says here:
Use of a real name allows contributions to be more easily traced to an individual. This may make a contributor more vulnerable to issues such as harassment. You should consider the benefits and drawbacks of making substantial contributions under your real name before doing so, especially if you are interested in editing subjects which may be politically sensitive. While it is possible to rename accounts (see Changing your username), a record of the previous name will still exist.
Do not edit under the name of a well-known living person unless it is your real name, and you either are that well-known person or you make it clear that you are not. Such usernames may be blocked as a precaution.
If you have been blocked for using your real name, please don't take offense; we're trying to prevent somebody from impersonating you! You are welcome to use your real name, but in some cases, you will need to prove you are who you say you are. You can do this by sending an e-mail to info-en@wikimedia.org; be aware that the volunteer response team that handles e-mail is operated entirely by volunteers, and an immediate reply may not be possible.
If you are happy with using a real name for your account, there is no problem. This is just a friendly notice.
{{subst:User:Avicennasis/Wel|tilde=1}} Adds:
"In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when."
This does include the comment <!-- Template:uw-tilde -->
{{subst:User:Avicennasis/Wel|speedy=warning}} Adds:
Although you may see {{{speedy}}} in the message above, it will not be in the message itself. This section is used to add a Speedy delete warning tag into the welcome message, with only little modification. For example, to take the warning from {{db-test}}, the warning show is "{{subst:Db-test-notice|Template:Db-g2|header=1}} ~~~~". The first thing you want to do is remove the signature code, as you don't want the sig to appear in the middle of the message. the second part is to remove "|header=1" from the message, as we don't need a header here. So, you will left with "{{subst:Db-test-notice|Template:Db-g2}}", just add this straight to the template subst code Example: {{subst:User:Avicennasis/Wel|speedy={{subst:Db-test-notice|Template:Db-g2}}}} Don't worry about the double curly brackets. Note, you must copy the code from the speedy delete tag and modify it - if you use the example above, you'll be warning them for the wrong reason and page.
- Please remember to substitute the template using
{{subst:User:Avicennasis/Wel}}rather than{{User:Avicennasis/Wel}}. - This template uses a parser function. To give greater detail to your message, you may add the article and some additional text to the end of the template.
- Except where noted, all of these functions can be used both as stand-alone or all-in-one.
