Template:Non-admin comment

(Non-administrator comment)

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Can be optionally employed where the commentator feels a need to clarify that one is making a comment more than an observation, but is not in the position to make any actions.

• This template is optional; there is no requirement for non-admins to identify themselves as such on any page, although in certain situations, it may be helpful to do so.
• This template is only for your own comments; it must never be added to someone else's comments.
• Except in certain limited cases where an admin must make the final decision (for example, WP:RFPP), the views of administrators and editors who are not administrators should be given equal weight. This is especially true in discussions regarding article content.
• This template should be added to the end of the comment to avoid prejudgment.
