Template:Talk Page Notice
Purpose
This template is used to provide notices about a series of messages on a talk page. This is typically used to warn users who intend to join the conversation or those who are already in the conversation.
Usage
This template should be placed on the line underneath the header for the messages and then include one line of space between this template and the first message. The template should be formatted like so:
{{Talk Page Notice|<noticeType>}}
| Notice Type | Notice Displayed |
|---|---|
| Controversial |  Controversial Topic This series of messages involves a controverisal topic and discussions tend to get heated during debates like these. To prevent this, please direct any messages to #general on Discord or to the Zelda Universe formus unless you have substantial evidence to add to this discussion and intend only to find a resolution in the discussion. |
| Off-Topic |  Off-Topic Messages This series of messages doesn't relate to improving the page that this talk page corresponds to. Zelda Wiki is an encyclopedia, not a forum, so please direct these messages to the Zelda Universe formus or to the #general on Discord. |
| Theory |  Theory Warning This series of messages has become more focused on theorizing about the page in question instead of focusing on the factual information to improve the article. Please direct theories to the Zelda Universe formus or to the #general on Discord. |
| Unproductive |  Unproductive In the event of an edit war, this talk page should be used to reach an agreement between the parties. This discussion has not been progressing and is becoming uncivil, and if it continues, the argument will be forcefully shut down and the participants will be banned, as per the Rules. Please keep the discussions civil and focus on the goal of improving the article in question. |
Example
This is an example using the Vilia talk page as reference.
==Vilia's Gender and Race==
{{Talk Page Notice|Controversial}}
It bugs me that people insist Vilia is male/a man. She's clearly a trans girl Her entire dialogue makes it very clear [...]
This outputs:

This works the same for all other versions of the template as well and will print in the same format as the above example, just with a different image and text. The "Unproductive" notice may be placed in the middle of a series of messages if a different placement will have a better effect on the two opposing parties.
