Another option is to opt out of specific types of messages for users who wish to be notified of certain problems, but not others. Users should be aware that by opting-out of specific notification posts, they will not be notified of matters relating to material they have edited or uploaded, which are tagged per policy. Actions (such as deletion) may be executed without you being notified as a result. By applying this to your own user talk page, you agree to this consequence. Applying this to a user talk page other than your own will be considered vandalism. All bots and scripts that leave messages on a user's talk page are encouraged to add this capability.

By adding this to a user's talk page, a user may still receive these messages by non-compliant bots or scripts, or humans who add the tag manually.

{{bots|optout=all}}            Opt out of all messages (see limitations below).

{{bots|optout=nosource}}       Opt out of no source messages.{{bots|optout=nolicense}}      Opt out of no license messages.{{bots|optout=orfud}}          Opt out of orphaned fair use messages.{{bots|optout=norationale}}    Opt out of no rationale messages.{{bots|optout=replaceable}}    Opt out of replaceable fair use messages.{{bots|optout=bettersource}}   Opt out of better source request messages.{{bots|optout=afd}}            Opt out of articles for deletion messages or variant forms.{{bots|optout=ifd}}            Opt out of images for deletion messages or variant.{{bots|optout=prod}}           Opt out of prod warning messages or variant.

Items can be combined by putting a comma between options

{{bots|optout=nosource,nolicense}}                 Opt out of no source, and no license messages.{{bots|optout=orfud,norationale,replaceable}}      Opt out of fair use messages.

Restrictions of messages that can be opted out

Some message notifications are not allowed to be opted out. These include (but are not limited to):

1. Copyright violation notifications
2. Vandalism (and other) warning notices.
3. Any message tag that isn't included as a way of opting out above. (Is there one that should be included? Leave a message on the talk page.)
