+CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN>
+------------------------------
+
+Explicitly enable or disable the warning when CMake Policy ``CMP<NNNN>``
+is not set. This is meaningful only for the few policies that do not
+warn by default:
+
+* ``CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0025`` controls the warning for
+ policy :policy:`CMP0025`.
+* ``CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0047`` controls the warning for
+ policy :policy:`CMP0047`.
+
+This variable should not be set by a project in CMake code. Project
+developers running CMake may set this variable in their cache to
+enable the warning (e.g. ``-DCMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN>=ON``).
+Alternatively, running :manual:`cmake(1)` with the ``--debug-output``
+or ``--trace`` option will also enable the warning.
