Template:Not a vote
 | If you came here because someone asked you to, or you read a message on another website, please note that this is not a majority vote, but instead a discussion among Wikipedia editors. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines regarding the encyclopedia's content, and consensus is made by discussing with arguments, not by counting votes.
However, you are invited to join the discussion and your opinion is welcome. Remember to assume good faith on the part of others and to sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end. Note: Comments by suspected single-purpose accounts or canvassed users may be tagged using:{{subst:spa|username}} or {{subst:canvassed|username}} |

 | This template is recommended for discussions of controversial decisions. |
- {{Not a ballot}} generate the standard text with "someone asked you to, or you read a message on another website"
- {{Not a ballot|reason}} replace the text above with "reason"
- {{Not a ballot|1=reason}} if your "reason" text contains a '=' (often external URLs)
Note: Please insert this template underneath the heading/link to the article and/or the nomination. Placing the template above the heading makes it look as if the warning is associated with the previous discussion when displayed on the daily deletion discussion listings.
