Personally a warning is a bit strong for this hence the idea of changing the title. I think a concept of a “note” would fit much better since using a warning just under the input implies it’s to do with what the user has entered.

@JordanMussi It would be nice if we could depend on people to see that and understand that’s what that means. I feel that the warning that @shiftkey suggested is much more clear and noticeable.
