Creating and renaming user talk templates
If you want to change the name of a series, or propose a new multi-level series, make sure to leave a note about it on WT:UTM, so that it can be fully integrated as a warning template if there are no major objections. Before creating new templates, please check to see if the template in mind already exists, to avoid duplication. Note: User warning templates are generally semi-protected. However, creation of a template does not automatically semi-protect it; be sure to request semi-protection. In the meantime, make sure the template does not erroneously indicate that it is already semi-protected.
If you add any templates here, please make sure to add them to the respective page "Elite Dangerous Wiki:Template messages/User talk namespace/XXX templates".
History of this page
The imported multi-level templates use a shared implementation. Consult WikiProject user warnings. The old template grid may still be found here with the details here. Review the local template documentation and preview messages before using them.
