This template displays the message above and adds the article to Category:Current events; a bot then adds the date parameter to move it into one of the dated subcategories of Category:Current events. The template is: automatically removed by, Yapperbot once an article has not been edited in the past five hours.
It may be used in tandem with {{Current event editnotice}} where applicable.
Guidelines
- Every article on XIV has a general disclaimer that the article contents may not be accurate.
- As an advisory to editors, the template may optionally be used on those extraordinary occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred. Or more) edit an article on the same day (for example, in the case of natural disasters or other breaking news).
- It is not intended to be used to mark an article that merely has recent news articles about the topic; if it were, "hundreds of thousands of articles would have this template," with no informational consequence.
- This and closely related templates are generally expected to appear on an article for less than a day, sometimes longer.
- If you would like an article on a significant current event to be noticed, please see XIV:How the Current events page works and XIV:In the news/Candidates.
Usage
The template takes three parameters:
- Parameter 1 overrides the word "article"
- Parameter 2 overrides the words "current event"
- Named parameter "date" categorizes the page into a monthly sub-category of Category:Current events for ease of navigation and maintenance. This will be added by a bot if omitted.
