Template:Uw-notenglishtalk
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you have communicated with other editors in a language other than English. At the English-language Wikipedia, we try to use English for all comments and edit summaries. Posting all comments in English makes it easier for other editors to join the conversation and help you. If you cannot avoid using another language, then please provide a translation into English, if you can. If you cannot provide a translation, please go to the list of Wikipedias, look in the list for a Wikipedia that is in your language, and edit there instead of here. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you.
| This template should always be substituted – use {{subst:Uw-notenglishtalk}}. Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
| Any breaking changes to this template, including moving it or nominating it for deletion, must be communicated in advance to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. Thank you. |
| This template is for when talk page comments are written in a foreign language. For warnings about contributions to articles, see Category:Non-English user warning templates |

Please remember to substitute the template using {{subst:Uw-notenglishtalk}} rather than {{Uw-notenglishtalk}}.
To customize your message, parameters are available; one to add the article name, and one to add additional text at the end of the message. If your param value contains an equal sign (as urls often do), then be sure to explicitly specify the positional parameter by number; i.e., use |1= or |2= followed by the value; e.g., |1=XYZ=Repainting, or |2=https://www.bbc.com/search?q=Kent+weather.
