Template:Burma-shave-notice/doc

This template presents prepackaged notices in the form of the Burma-shave ads once seen on American highways. It is intended to be used as a humorous notification to experienced editors. It should be used for editors who you have a good relationship with to give them a friendly nudge. With new or grumpy editors (or if you're not sure the editor will take the joke well), just use a standard message or warning template.

As an alternative, the {{burma-shave}} template can be used to create your own custom Burma-Shave poem.
