VIP notation templates

Administrators: These are comment templates commonly used to notate vandalism reports that may require special attention. To use, place the template after the submission you are notating (do not substitute!). The main template may be found at Template:VIP.

Editors: Please feel free to use these when applicable to comment on reports. Try to keep commentary brief and remember that, while we appreciate your opinion, it is not final, and administrators are not guaranteed to follow the same course of action as you would.

Note: Where there is a parameter of X, Y, or Z, a specific time period may be indicated. For example:

{{VIP|oldwarn|Y}} produces

Old warning. Last warning was issued Y ago.

Proper usage is:

{{VIP|oldwarn|1 month}} produces

Old warning. Last warning was issued 1 month ago.
