New User Warnings
Though the following isn't effective yet, please read the following: Wikiproject user warnings has been working to redo all templates. Originally, plans were to slowly insert these, so people would know that the warnings had changed. However, this was thought to be bad, so all of the new templates of the project have a " uw- " in front of them. Another advantage of the prefix was so that the user warning template wouldn't get confused with something else (ie. a POV template for an article page and a POV template for a user talk page of a user who's inserting POV). This means that the old templates will still work as normal. However, these new templates are more organized. Level 0 has been eliminated, and the levels now go from 1-4. In addition, block templates are organized differently. All new templates automatically insert your signature, and all templates are completely lower-cased. An important note is that the new test templates are not blockable, as they are only for tests (i.e. can I really type here?). Things that test was previously used for, like vandalism, now have their own templates. The templates are currently on review until Jan. 22. For the complete list of templates, see WikiProject user warnings/Overview. --TeckWizTalk Contribs@ 21:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Question about when to use particular templates
I'm new to RCP. I have a couple of questions please: Thanks. Tanaats 22:57, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If an edit is obviously vandalism and not an innocent experiment, do I skip test1 and go straight to test2?
 * When is a blatentvandal warning appropriate?

mysterious "undo" button
tonight there appeared on diff pages a link next to 'edit' called 'undo'... or at least it's the first time i've noticed it. what's up? has it always been there and i just finally caught on today or is this a new thing? -- frymaster 05:14, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Not something I've noticed before either. It's mentioned on the Help:Reverting page as a recent feature of MediaWiki. This diff would suggest is been a while since it came into MediaWiki but I suppose it depends when Wikipedia updated their version as to when we'll see it. It does slightly concern me that it makes it very easy for vandals to revert back to their edits. It does seem this is available for IP users. I would suggest that this either be disabled completely, or only available for established users. Adambro 11:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Old School
Whoever put the "old school" reference in referring to RC patrol through web browser needs to have an applause! I thought that was funny. Real96 09:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
