"warningorigin" --> "warning origin"; also updated transclusion at bottom of page.

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{subst only}}
{{Unsigned templates}}


== Usage ==
This template adds a line below a warning to list: the original location (defaults to page-user's talkpage); original posting user; original posting time-and-date; and/or the diff of the original warning.

This may be useful if you want to indicate the author and time-and-date of an unsigned warning; if you archive warnings off your talk page; or if you want to quote a warning anywhere else.

==Parameters==
This template takes four '''expected''' parameters (not required, but expected either in sequence or by named variable):
# '''''location='''''   The page where this warning was originally posted (without double-brackets). If you are using this template in your own userspace, for instance on [[Special:Mytalk/Warnings|your own /Warnings subpage]], '''''location''''' defaults to [[Special:Mytalk|your own talkpage]]. If you are using this template outside your own userspace, or referring to a warning posted on any other page, then specify the pagename (without double-brackets) as location=''pagename''.
# '''''user='''''   The username who posted it (without the "User:" prefix); if unsigned, see [{{fullurl:Special:Mytalk|action=history}} your talkpage history].
# '''''time='''''   The UTC time-and-date of the original warning, as seen first in its entry on [{{fullurl:Special:Mytalk|action=history}} your talkpage history].
# '''''oldid='''''   The "oldid=" number of the warning's diff, as seen in the URLs of the entry's "(cur)", "(last)", and time-and-date links.

==Examples==
For the least typing, just provide the values in '''''location - user - time - oldid''''' sequence:
;Code: <code><nowiki>{{warning origin|User talk:EVula|Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354}}</nowiki></code>
;Result:{{warning origin|User talk:EVula|Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354}}

If the named variables are used, these don't need to be kept in the same sequence:
;Code:<code><nowiki>{{warning origin|user=Ben|time=09:47, 26 February 2007|oldid=111045354|location=User talk:EVula}}</nowiki></code>
;Result:{{warning origin|user=Ben|time=09:47, 26 February 2007|oldid=111045354|location=User talk:EVula}}

As long as the correct "oldid" is provided, the location is ''not really necessary:''
;Code:<code><nowiki>{{warning origin||Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354}}</nowiki></code>
;Result:{{warning origin||Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354}}

If other values are left out, the template will simply bypass them:
;Code:<code><nowiki>{{warning origin|User talk:EVula}}</nowiki></code>
;Result:{{warning origin|User talk:EVula}}
