Substitution of Uw-* templates
Hello Urbanjester, I saw you recent warning at User talk:~2026-15691-72. It's great that you're giving a warning to vandals after reverting your edits, but it's generally good practice to substitute the templates, as well as put it under the header "Month YYYY", where YYYY is the year.
