469469.. function :: warn_explicit(message, category, filename, lineno, module=None, registry=None, module_globals=None, source=None) 
470470
471471   This is a low-level interface to the functionality of :func: `warn `, passing in
472-    explicitly the message, category, filename and line number, and optionally the
473-    module name and the registry (which should be the ``__warningregistry__ ``
474-    dictionary of the module).  The module name defaults to the filename with
475-    ``.py `` stripped; if no registry is passed, the warning is never suppressed.
472+    explicitly the message, category, filename and line number, and optionally
473+    other arguments.
476474   *message * must be a string and *category * a subclass of :exc: `Warning ` or
477475   *message * may be a :exc: `Warning ` instance, in which case *category * will be
478476   ignored.

478+    *module *, if supplied, should be the module name.
479+    If no module is passed, the filename with ``.py `` stripped is used.
480+ 
481+    *registry *, if supplied, should be the ``__warningregistry__ `` dictionary
482+    of the module.
483+    If no registry is passed, each warning is treated as the first occurrence,
484+    that is, filter actions ``"default" ``, ``"module" `` and ``"once" `` are
485+    handled as ``"always" ``.
486+ 
480487   *module_globals *, if supplied, should be the global namespace in use by the code
481488   for which the warning is issued.  (This argument is used to support displaying
482489   source for modules found in zipfiles or other non-filesystem import
