Community-authorisedgeneral sanctions (GS) are in effect for some topics on Wikipedia. Users editing these pages may bealerted that general sanctions are in effect. You must use this template to do so.

To alert a user, open a new section on their user talk page. Paste the following code into it, replacingtopic code – see list with the corresponding code fromthe table below. Type an appropriate subject line, then save the page.
{{subst:Gs/alert|topic code here – select fromlist}} ~~~~Using this template will triggerEditFilter 602. As a result, your edit containing the alert will betagged with "contentious topics alert". Edits with this tag can be searched for in user contributions, user talk page histories,Special:RecentChanges, and thelog of EditFilter 602.
Therefore, an automatic system log of all alerts is maintained. You need not do anything except leave the alert.
To see whether a user has been alerted to general sanctions, load the history of their user talk page and search forcontentious topics alert under the 'tag filter' field.
