The text appears the same (in bold), but this carries additional semantic meaning, e.g. a screen reader may use a different voice for 'strong' text.

I'm suggesting this because I had an unfortunate situation earlier where I used this template and [[Special:permalink/1296237513#c-SSMnSSM-20250618191500-Tuvan_throat-singing_and_Tuvan_language_pages_edits|the user thought I was forbidding them from editing the page]] ({{tqqi|Why I can't edit those pages?}}). In retrospect, I should have used {{tl|Uw-delete4}} instead, which already includes this verbiage.

::Oh, I thought this would be totally uncontroversial since it's just adding a link and {{tl|uw-delete1}} already includes it. No? — [[User:W.andrea|W.andrea]] ([[User talk:W.andrea|talk]]) 00:41, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
:::I think there may be an argument that editors receiving beyond a Level 1 warning for this shouldn't need a link of this nature. It's arguably linking an easily understandable phrase. [[User:Doniago|DonIago]] ([[User talk:Doniago|talk]]) 19:45, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
::::{{tqbm|linking an easily understandable phrase}} My rationale for linking it isn't "this could be misunderstood", it's "we have a page that provides more details about this". — [[User:W.andrea|W.andrea]] ([[User talk:W.andrea|talk]]) 00:34, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
::::{{tqbm|editors receiving beyond a Level 1 warning for this shouldn't need a link of this nature.}} Note that {{tl|Uw-delete4im}} is an "only warning" so editors wouldn't have received a level 1 warning. — [[User:W.andrea|W.andrea]] ([[User talk:W.andrea|talk]]) 00:36, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::I'm not sure why anyone would be delivering an "only warning" if an editor hadn't been warned about the same behavior in the past. [[User:Doniago|DonIago]] ([[User talk:Doniago|talk]]) 03:27, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
::::::An "{{em|only}} warning" means they only get one warning. Are you thinking of a {{em|final}} warning?
::::::If it helps, I issued an only warning on the 18th because a user out of the blue removed a large chunk of the article [[Tuvan throat singing]], marked it as "minor", didn't write adequate edit summaries, and seemed to be specifically erasing the contributions of Mongolians.
::::::— [[User:W.andrea|W.andrea]] ([[User talk:W.andrea|talk]]) 12:50, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::::No, I'm not. I don't think editors typically issue only warnings to editors who have never received warnings previously, unless whatever they did to merit the warning is so incredibly blatant and unambiguous that it's simply impossible to believe the editor didn't know it would be considered problematic.
:::::::In the case you described, if they had no prior warnings on their Talk page, I'd probably still give them a level 3 or 4 for a first-time offense. Either one is significant enough to result in a block if they continue their behavior. [[User:Doniago|DonIago]] ([[User talk:Doniago|talk]]) 15:33, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
::::::::OK, I see. — [[User:W.andrea|W.andrea]] ([[User talk:W.andrea|talk]]) 17:38, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
:{{done}} Consensus to me is not obvious here, but I'm honestly not really convinced about not adding this link based on it possibly being the case a user has gotten the 1st version. I regularly issue first-time warnings between 1 and 4 and I think it's fair to provide editors (GF or BF) the opportunity to understand what they're doing in our context. Boldly added.

== uw-disruptive4im ==

Hello. I wanted to tell you guys that uw-disruptive4im should be created. The reason was to notify the users the only warning if they disrupt Wikipedia again. For an example, {{code|{{subst:uw-disruptive4im}}}} would produce:

[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px]] This is your '''only warning'''; if you [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disrupt]] Wikipedia again, you may be '''[[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]] without further notice'''.

This template will be useful to warn these users continuously with disruptive editing, and it will be the only warning before the user gets blocked, similar to other 4im templates. [[Special:Contributions/92.53.21.142|92.53.21.142]] ([[User talk:92.53.21.142|talk]]) 22:21, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

:I don't really see the need. [[:Template:uw-disruptive4]] is already a redirect to [[:Template:uw-generic4]] which basically says the same thing you've proposed here. Put another way, if we were going to create such a template, I think a redirect would suffice anyway. [[User:Doniago|DonIago]] ([[User talk:Doniago|talk]]) 02:00, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Dear Sir,

I am requesting you to create the Template for Mahesana district. I already created, but need your help to make it meaningful.


Thank you,
