Template:Unwanted edits/doc

The policy for use of this template is at How to handle unwanted edits#Escalating user blocks, which says "The first step in dealing with editors who make a mix of positive and negative contributions is to give them positive feedback on their constructive edits, to educate them about the community's policies and norms, and try to persuade them to edit constructively and cooperatively within those norms. If they continue to make problematic edits, the second step is to point out the specific edits (with links to the edits if they are not obvious), and to describe why they are problematic." This template is used as a third step, if problematic edits continue, as a final warning, after which blocks may be applied.
