 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Current event editnotice (diff). |
Usage[edit]
For use in editnotices on pages on current events, or whose subjects are currently in the news (such as for having recently died). Similar to {{current}} but in editnotice form. Should not be indiscriminately applied to all current events, only ones attracting a decent amount of edits that this would be useful, particularly those attracting attention from new users or from IP editors who may be unfamiliar with basic editing guidelines.
Please specify a |expiry= parameter, ideally within a few days. As a general guideline, two weeks (14 days) should be enough time for any given current event to pass, unless there is a credible reason to keep the template up longer (for example, to account for autopsies of the dead or the aftermath of a major storm). In rare or extraordinary circumstances, the parameter may be left blank if consensus for this approach is judged to be needed to adequately address a given current event (such as a pandemic).
Pages using this editnotice appear in Category:Pages with current event editnotice, sorted by expiry. Transclusions without an expiry have a sortkey of ~, though note that these should not exist and an expiry date should either be added or the editnotice removed.
Variable display[edit]
For users who are not extended confirmed, two additional bullet points appear at the top:If the article has been edited in the past 20 minutes, an additional bullet point appears:
- Information must be cited to reliable sources or it will be removed.
- Information must be presented from a neutral point of view.
- To avoid an edit conflict, please consider only editing the section you wish to change, rather than the whole page.
