 | This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously. |
This template presents prepackaged notices in the form of the Burma-shave ads once seen on American highways. It is intended to be used as a humorous notification to experienced editors. It should be used for editors who you have a good relationship with to give them a friendly nudge. With new or grumpy editors (or if you're not sure the editor will take the joke well), just use a standard message or warning template.
As an alternative, the {{burma-shave}} template can be used to create your own custom Burma-Shave poem.
