Template:Ds/talk notice/doc
| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Ds/talk notice. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template warns people on the talk page that arbitration discretionary sanctions have been authorised. Discretionary sanctions allow administrators to act quickly and decisively to prevent misconduct.
The template requires you to declare which arbitration decision authorised discretionary sanctions, by specifying a #decision code.
You should place the template at the top of the talk page, below the header (if used) but above all other templates.
The template places the page into Category:Wikipedia pages under discretionary sanctions or Category:Wikipedia pages with discretionary sanctions editnotice depending on usage unless nocat=yes is included.
Contents
Use
You may use this on the article talk page. You may also use it in an article edit notice for general information; however, edit notices about a special "page restriction" deployed under discretionary sanctions should instead be advertised using the special {{Ds/editnotice}} template.

Styles
The default is a concise, bold-print message:
{{Ds/talk notice|tpm|brief}} gives:
| The use of discretionary sanctions has been [[{{safesubst:Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions/Shortcuts|sanctions link=tpm}}|authorized]] by the Arbitration Committee for pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, including this page. Please consult the awareness criteria and edit carefully. |
Alternatively there is a more wordy and detailed message:
{{Ds/talk notice|saq|long}} gives:
| The Arbitration Committee has [[{{safesubst:Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions/Shortcuts|sanctions link=saq}}|authorized]] uninvolved administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on users who edit pages related to the Shakespeare authorship question, including this page. Provided the awareness criteria are met, discretionary sanctions may be used against editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process. |
Decision codes
If an article has sanctions but doesn't fit into one of the above topic areas, this template is unsuitable. Use {{sanctions}} instead.
