Example Usage:

{{V|Example|Not Vandalism|None Taken}}

This Template is intended for inclusion on A/VB to simplify the larger number of templates currently inuse on that page to a single one. Please limit inclusions of this template as much as possible to prevent pages from hitting the inclusion limit due to over use and stick to the smaller {{{2}}} templates for Bot reports and the such.

V2.0

Cut out a number of things so this can now function as an actual template for inclusion purposes that way we can save some time on A/VB with filing new reports. Removed the substitution functionality as that's no way to run a template. Hopefully the relative ease of this template will help it see some use.--Karekmaps?! 05:52, 9 April 2011 (BST)

Isn't it best to advise substing this in the example provided above (and any sample code placed in A/VB comments), since if A/VB hits the inclusion limit, all of these will break? It'd be a huge mess. Aichon 06:00, 9 April 2011 (BST)
It's as likely either way actually as far as this template goes so the purpose here is simplicity. The header is currently a sticking point but I'll work on that more later. --Karekmaps?! 06:22, 9 April 2011 (BST)
Mmm...I'm not sure we're on the same wavelength, so let me restate for clarity. Since this entire template is included on A/VB, if A/VB reaches its inclusion limit, which it has several times in the last year, we'll suddenly lose access to all verdicts, links to vandal data, etc. for everyone who has had a case that month. Basically, it has little to do with the complexity of this template itself, and more to do with its usage, which should always be via subst and never as an inclusion, otherwise we face that issue. That's what I was saying. Aichon 07:51, 9 April 2011 (BST)
