This article or section is a candidate for merging with Template:Warning. This template is a semantically-specific reimplementation of Template:Warning and Template:Notice. Further information may be found in the relevant discussion page.

Template Documentation [edit source| uses| help]

This notice can be used to display security information to the reader, in a way that disrupts the normal reading flow. This can be especially useful to convey critical information the user should read before proceeding.

🛡︎︎
Security information: This template is not secure

Usage

Simply including this template, alongside a message to be displayed, would suffice in producing a notice like the one above:

{{Security Warning|This template is not secure}}

There are three distinct levels you can specify for a security warning's type. Each level, along with an example and the resulting output can be seen in the table below:

Type Example Output
critical
{{Security Warning
  |type=critical
  |This information is critical!
}}
🛡︎︎
Security information: This information is critical!
warning
{{Security Warning
  |type=warning
  |This is your last warning!
}}
🛡︎︎
Security information: This is your last warning!
secure
{{Security Warning
  |type=secure
  |All clear.
}}
🛡︎︎
Security information: All clear.
info
{{Security Warning
  |type=info
  |For your information.
}}
🛡︎︎
Security information: For your information.

You can also specify some text to replace the "Security information" in the notice:

{{Security Warning|type=info|heading=Important info:|This security notice is important.}}
🛡︎︎
Important info: This security notice is important.
