This is my page for links to help fight vandals.
Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace lists all the warnings, on their various levels. There's some 'Remember' hints listed at that link for when you place a warning.
Basically, when you see a user vandalising, you give them {{test1}} if they haven't been warned before. If they do it again, {{test2}}. Then {{test3}}, and {{test4}} as a final warning after recieving the previous three. If they continue, then you can report them to WP:AIV; most administrators, in most situations, won't block without an IP or user being warned through all the stages.
I hope that helped! Cheers, Daniel Bryant 05:14, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Recent Changes http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&limit=50&hidemyself=1&namespace=0 ^Better, setup to only look at articles, and to remove my edits.
Try to give the level of the template you have used (and preferably the name: for example, "error3", "v2", "d1") in your edit summary, so that other users know what templates have been used.
^REMEMBER!!!!
:''If this is a shared [[IP address]], and you didn't make the edit, consider [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|creating an account]] for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.''
For dealing with IP's
Please do not add biased text to Wikipedia. This violates WP:NPOV, a rule of wikipedia. I suggest you contribute to an article that you do not feel as strong about, as this will give you some experience in editing wikipedia. When you feel you can edit articles you feel strongly about without bias, you are welcome to do so. Regards, Omega ArchdoomTalk 09:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
