Warning
This template is to highlight the importance / warn, commonly for use on talk pages. It is used to visually draw attention inline in a message, to a warning about something, such as inappropriate editor behavior, a coding difficulty to watch out for, etc. It is not used in article namespace, but it can be used in other namespaces.
You may either use ((warnsign)) by itself for the default message or you may add a custom message as an optional parameter.
