Usage
[edit]This template can be used on user talk pages when warning or block notices have been removed. It serves as a reminder that the talk page history should be checked for prior warnings.
Alternately, instead of removing old warnings from talk pages of unregistered users, use {{old IP warnings top}} and {{old IP warnings bottom}} to collapse the previous warnings, while keeping them easily expandable for review.
Do note that temporary accounts expire six months after first use, and unlike IP accounts are never re-used. This should alleviate much of the build-up of old warnings previously experienced for high-usage IP addresses, and thus reduce the need for this template.
