Personally, and this is just my opinion so take it for whatever it's worth, I'm not a fan of user warning templates. They seem too mechanical and robotic to me, and they seem like they're given out by a bot rather than a person who took the time to write out a warning on their own. I think having that human element to all interaction is very important.
