Now, what kind of "warning" do you consider appropriate? NPOV0 [1]? Welcomeenpov [2]?
Or perhaps you'd advocate some kind of hand-written warning?
Whatever you consider the appropriate warning to give, your comment is symptomatic of the terrible notion that giving a warning is a punishment of some kind and should be doled out to any editor who misbehaves somehow.
Handwritten, always. The warning templates are almost uniformly based around the assumption that a warning is a punishment, rather than an attempt to get someone to change their behavior.
