What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-blank1|Article}}   Hello, I'm Northern Moonlight. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Article. Please do not do this. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. As a rule, if you discover a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If a page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you wish to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.
{{subst:uw-blank2|Article}}   Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did at Article. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted.

Changing pronouns of trans/non-binary BLP subjects

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-pronouns1|Article}}   Hello, I'm Northern Moonlight. I noticed that you changed the personal pronouns of an individual in the article Article.

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-pronouns2|Article}}   Please do not change the personal pronouns of individuals in articles, as you did to Article. Wikipedia refers to all people, including transgender and nonbinary people, by the pronouns they have most recently requested for themselves; this applies to all phases of their lives, unless they have requested otherwise.

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Conversation in article talk space

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-chat1|Talk:Article}}   Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Article are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks.
{{subst:uw-chat2|Talk:Article}}   Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Article for general discussion of this or other topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See the talk page guidelines for more information. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-chat3|Talk:Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at Talk:Article, you may be blocked from editing.
{{subst:uw-chat4|Talk:Article}}   You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use talk pages for inappropriate discussions, as you did at Talk:Article.

Disrupting the taxonomy templates

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-taxonomy1|Article}}   Hello. While we appreciate your attempts to help keep scientific classifications on Wikipedia thorough and up-to-date, your recent edit to the code at Article doesn't fit the format required for the taxonomy templates to function properly, and it has been reverted or removed.

Editing of others' talk page contributions without due cause

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-tpv1|Article}}   Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Article, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-tpv2|Article}}   Please do not delete or alter legitimate talk page comments from other editors, as you did at Article. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-tpv3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing.
{{subst:uw-tpv4|Article}}   You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or change other editors' legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Article.

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-spam1|Article}}   Hello, I'm Northern Moonlight. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Article have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-spam2|Article}}   Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Article. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-spam3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.
{{subst:uw-spam4|Article}}   You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Article. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.
{{subst:uw-spam4im|Article}}   This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Euphemisms in article

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-euphemisms1|Article}}   Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively, please note that we do not use euphemisms (such as passed away in place of died) in Wikipedia articles. This is part of the Manual of Style, and should be followed to maintain a neutral point of view and consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style by adding euphemisms, as you did in Article, disturbs uniformity among articles. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-euphemisms2|Article}}   Please do not use euphemisms on Wikipedia articles, as you did in Article. It is contrary to the Manual of style and the Neutral point of view policy. Thank you.

Frequent changing to genres without consensus or reference

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-genre1|Article}}   Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Article, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and/or verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-genre2|Article}}   Please refrain from adding, removing or changing genres, as you did to Article, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-genre3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing.
{{subst:uw-genre4|Article}}   You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at Article.

Fringe or undue weight in articles

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-fringe1|Article}}   Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, content you added to Article appears to be a minority or fringe viewpoint, and appears to have given undue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain a neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea. Feel free to use the article's talk page to discuss this, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-fringe2|Article}}   Please do not insert fringe or undue weight content into articles, as you did to Article. An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. Please use the article's talk page to discuss the material and its appropriate weight within the article. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-fringe3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to insert fringe or undue weight content into articles, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing. Articles on Wikipedia do not give fringe material equal weight to majority viewpoints; content in articles are given representation in proportion to their prominence.

Harassment

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-harass1|Article}}   Hello, I'm Northern Moonlight. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to Article. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-harass2|Article}}   Please be careful about what you say to people. Some remarks, such as your addition to Article can easily be misinterpreted, or viewed as harassment. Wikipedia is a supportive environment, where contributors should feel comfortable and safe while editing. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-harass3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's harassment policy, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing. Wikipedia aims to provide a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing other users potentially compromises that safe environment.
{{subst:uw-harass4|Article}}   You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you purposefully and blatantly harass other editors, as you did at Article.
{{subst:uw-harass4im|Article}}   This is your only warning; if you purposefully and blatantly harass other editors again, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-joke1|Article}}   Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia, and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Article. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write.
{{subst:uw-joke2|Article}}   Thank you for your contributions to Article, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral.

LLM misuse

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-ai1|Article}}   Hello, I'm Northern Moonlight. An edit that you recently made to Article seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology).

If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Manual of style

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-mos1|Article}}   Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Article, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-mos2|Article}}   Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Article. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-mos3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason.

Misleading edit summaries

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-mislead1|Article}}   Hello, I'm Northern Moonlight. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Article in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.
{{subst:uw-mislead2|Article}}   Please do not use misleading edit summaries when making changes to Wikipedia pages, as you did to Article. This behavior is viewed as disruptive, and continuation may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-mislead3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to make edits with misleading or inaccurate edit summaries, even if unintentional, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing.

Moves

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-move1|Article}}   Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Article, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-move2|Article}}   Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Article. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-move3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing.

{{subst:uw-move4im|Article}}   This is your only warning; if you move a page disruptively again, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Neutral point of view

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-npov1|Article}}   Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Article seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|my talk page]]. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-npov2|Article}}   Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Article. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-npov3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing.

Not censored

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-notcensored1|Article}}   Hello, I'm Northern Moonlight. I noticed that you removed topically relevant content from Article. However, Wikipedia is not censored. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-notcensored2|Article}}   Please do not remove information from articles, as you did to Article. Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. If the content in question involves images, you also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-notcensored3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to censor or remove encyclopedic content based on the fact that it is offensive to some readers, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing. Wikipedia is not censored, and attempts to censor encyclopedic content will be regarded as vandalism.

Original research

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-nor1|Article}}   Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Article, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-nor2|Article}}   Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Article. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-nor3|Article}}   Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing.
{{subst:uw-nor4|Article}}   You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Article.
What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-paid1|Article}}
 
Hello Template index/User talk namespace. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Article, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Template index. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Template index/User talk namespace|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.

{{subst:uw-paid2|Article}}
 
As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Article, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Template index, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Template index/User talk namespace|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia.
{{subst:uw-paid3}}
 
You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing.
{{subst:uw-paid4}}
 
You may be blocked from editing without further warning if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing.
{{subst:uw-paid4im}}
 
This is your only warning; if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

{{subst:uw-npa1|Article}}   Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]].

Talking in articles

What to type What it makes
{{subst:uw-talkinarticle1|Article}}   Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Article.
