This template is used to inform editors that they are being discussed on the administrative noticeboards. Note that this applies to ALL types of users, whether they be an admin, a new user, or an anon IP.

This template does not necessarily imply wrongdoing on the part of an editor; all editors who are merely involved in a behavioral dispute (e.g. previous blocking administrators of blocked users) can and must also be notified.

It does NOT create its own section.

Usage

((subst:ANI-notice|topic|noticeboard=noticeboard of discussion|reason=reason for discussion|thread=thread name of the discussion)) ~~~~
