Warning templates have been around since the creation of the Super Mario Wiki and are used to keep track of a user's disciplinary history as well as provide justification for blocks/bans. Once a warning has been issued, it cannot be removed without going through an appeal. Removing a warning template without going through an appeal is grounds for another warning.

The following templates are considered warning templates:



FAQ
Q. Does my warning ever expire? A. No. Warnings are permanent records against your account.

Q. Can anyone give out warnings? A. Yes, all users have the right to warn other users.

'''Q. I don't think I deserve my warning. What should I do?''' A. If you feel you don't deserve the warning, you have the option to appeal it as long as the warning in question was not given by an administrator. When appealing warnings, it is best to do so as soon as possible.

Q. Can I still be promoted even if I have warnings? A. Absolutely. Warnings are meant to keep track of your past activities, not to evaluate your current performance. It is up to you to interpret warnings as negative marks on your account or an opportunity to change for the better.

Q. Can I still be blocked without any warnings? A. If the offense is severe enough, it is possible to be blocked without any kind of warning.
