This is a documentation subpage for Template:Discussion notice. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template should always be substituted (i.e., use ((subst:Discussion notice))).

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.
