User warnings are tiny templates which can be used by admin (and others) to advise users of things they're doing which violate. The idea for this system arose from a forum discussion, where it was decided that brief template messages placed on user pages would be the way forward. The final form of this thing arises mainly from an idea supplied by sulfur as an example of things going on at Memory Alpha, as well as the current state of Wikipedia's user warning project. However it does retain a good deal of "TARDIS flair". The actual form of the messages has been wholly created at this wiki and doesn't exist anywhere else on the web.
How it works
to be added
Examples of each level
There are four different levels of message, as can be seen here.
First warning
The sky is falling. Lots of other things are happening. Like this. And this. And that over there. There are many balls in the air, many plates spinning. I wish I could make you understand how much is going on.

Rules for use
Any user may send out a level 1 or 2 message to another user. However, level 3 and 4 warnings can only be sent by an admin. If you're not an admin, and you post a level 3 or 4 warning on another user's page, you will become subject to blocking without warning.
