PLEASE START SUBSTITUTING TALK PAGE TEMPLATES WHEN YOU USE THEM ON USERS' TALK PAGES. THIS IS ACHIEVED BY PUTTING THE "SUBST" KEYWORD BEFORE THE TEMPLATE NAME, LIKE THIS:

Because
 * 1) Not using the "subst" keyword breaks the formatting of the talk page, creating a false "edit" link that links to the template used rather than the section of the talk page (yes, I know these templates are protected so that only admins and VCROC users can edit them; it's still inconvenient).
 * 2) The messages that the templates are trying convey might stick in the users' heads more if they were actual text on the users' talk page rather than just .
