The pre- or proceeding content contains offensive language and/or content. content warning


This template is used to indicate readers of objectionable material found in external links.

Usage:
{{inlinecontentwarning|warning message|tooltip to display}}

Both parameters are optional.

When someone rolls over this template, a tooltip will be displayed containing what you entered for the second parameter.

The tooltip should be a brief message further explaining the warning. It should be checked to see if the tooltip appears completely, because after a certain length they will be cut off by the browser. They will also disappear after a few seconds, requiring a user to take their cursor off of the warning and back on it again to see it again.

Example:
[http://www.nasa.gov Read me.] {{inlinecontentwarning|sample warning message|This is an example content warning.}}

Yields:
Read me. This is an example content warning. sample warning message

In most cases, be sure to place the warning template before the link in question, especially in running text.
