User talk:Sandbox for user warnings
![]() | To all users: Please feel free to leave any warnings or notices here, or to use this page as you would any other sandbox. If possible, consider reverting or undoing your own edits, especially if adding a template that categorizes this page (such as an indefinite block notice).
This is useful for performing tests using tools (such as Huggle, Twinkle, RedWarn or Ultraviolet), which will only issue a user notice on a user's page. Please do not use this page to test advance reporting and vetting (ARV), speedy deletion (CSD), nominate for deletion (XFD), or request page protection (RPP), as these notify administrators. Also, please do not test Unlink, as this will make this sandbox useless. Note: Please do not report this user to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism based on the warnings which you may see here, since they are merely tests. (Check this user's contributions.) Please leave this explanation in place, and perform your test edits below. Other user talk test pages:

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to pineapple pizza, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at So I'm just hoping it works, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. PerryPerson (talk) 17:18, 1 July 2025 (UTC)\n\n

Hello, I'm Okterakt. I noticed that you changed the personal pronouns of an individual in one of your recent edits. 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. UwU ❏ Okterakt UwU (talk) 19:03, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
