Custom UW-style messages
Custom unofficial WP:UW-style messages that I've written for special occasions. Not intended for general use, just saving them for possible future use.

Cosmetic changes to whitespace
Please do not make unnecessary edits to articles which adjust the source without any benefit to the article itself. Your unexplained edits which consist entirely of changing or removing harmless whitespace (and make no improvement to the visual presentation of the article) are not helpful. They only serve to clutter article history, recent changes, and watch lists; with the net result of causing irritation to other editors and wasting people's time. Please avoid all such cosmetic changes which have no benefit to the presentation of articles. Such behaviour is often viewed as disruptive editing by the community, and there is a general consensus against such changes. Thanks.

Inappropriate usage of Navbar-header
Hi, please do not use within articles. It is not intended to be used directly within articles, and generates entirely inappropriate / incorrect " v · t · e " links. Its intended use is only within templates. The way you have been using it ends up being confusing and unhelpful to people trying to edit the tables / boxes, directing them to entirely the wrong place with the result of protected edit requests being left on unrelated template talk pages. These links should never normally be required for content which is directly in the article itself. Thanks.

Please stop continuing to use within articles, as you did with this edit to 1992–93 Washington Bullets season. The " v · t · e " links that it is generating in that usage are entirely unhelpful, inappropriately linking to a template which has absolutely nothing to do with the tables you are adding. That template is not suitable for use directly within articles, it does not work properly when used like that, and is not intended to be used in that way. Placing those links on content within articles actually makes things more confusing and difficult for editors. We welcome constructive contributions, but continued insertion of unhelpful templates could end up being considered disruptive editing. Thanks.

Interlanguage links
Stop doing anything involving interlanguage links until you understand how they currently work. You are very out of date with how they are handled. They were officially deprecated in page source in early 2013, and should never appear in any normal page. They moved to Wikidata. See Help:Interlanguage links for current details. Continuing to add them to articles will likely be considered disruptive editing, and could result in you being blocked from editing. Thanks.

Problem pages
Pages that I need to take another look at after some time has passed to allow responses on the talk page from page watchers. Any WikiStalkers are encouraged to improve / fix pages on this list.
