{{Warning|{{red|'''Important:'''}} '''Use {{tl|Contentious topics/alert/first}} instead of this template when alerting a user about contentious topics for the first time.'''

Under the contentious topics procedure, there are [[Template:Contentious topics/list/single notice|three types of alerts]]:
* '''{{tl|Contentious topics/alert/first}}''', which is mandatory for the first time an editor is alerted to contentious topics (or discretionary sanctions) in any topic area.
* '''{{tl|Contentious topics/alert}}''' (this template), which you ''may'' (but are not required to) use to alert an editor (to a different topic area for example) after they've received {{tl|Contentious topics/alert/first}}.
* '''{{tl|Contentious topics/alert/DS}}''', which you ''may'' (but are not required to) use when alerting someone who has previously been alerted to discretionary sanctions but not contentious topics.}}

===Usage===

Some topics on Wikipedia have been designated as [[Bharatpedia:contentious topics|contentious topics]]. Users editing in these areas may be [[Bharatpedia:Contentious topics#Awareness and alerts|alerted]] about the contentious topics system. If this is the editor's first alert, you '''must''' instead use {{tl|Contentious topics/alert/first}}.
