Usage

{{Warning sign}}

Or use the shorthand

{{Warnsign}} or check here

This template is for use on talk pages to highlight the importance / warn. It is used to visually draw attention inline in a message, to a warning about something, such as a coding difficulty to watch out for, inappropriate editor behavior, etc.
Warning Not to be mixed with {{Warning}}!

Template parameters

 Parameter text is empty

<templatedata>JSON</templatedata> ./. {{TemplateBox}}

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

{{Warning sign|}}
