== Questioning why we have "Admin only" warnings ==
*"Undermining admin authority"
This is absolutely meaningless. The most I've come across for what exactly constitutes this is in [[MarioWiki:Courtesy]], which probably should be linked to there for a definition, but I'll critique this rule later.
*"Creating sockpuppets"
It's understandable that sometimes evidence requires use of admin tools such as CheckUser but I see little reason this should be restricted to only sysops.
*"Abusing warning privileges"
Any user should be able to warn other users over abusing warning templates.
So yeah I counted three of these warnings. The rule that only users with colored text are allowed to use these is just a questionable layer of process and probably should just be removed. {{User:Mario/sig}} 12:49, May 18, 2024 (EDT)
