Template:Current event editnotice
- Information must be cited to reliable sources or it will be removed.
- Information must be presented from a neutral point of view.
- Please write in summary style and avoid indiscriminate detail—Wikipedia is not a newspaper.
- If reliable sources attribute information to a third party rather than stating it in their own voice, it should also be attributed in the article text.
- Images and other media must have a verifiable copyright status. Non-free media must satisfy all of the relevant criteria.
- Please consider only editing the section you wish to change, rather than the whole page.
- Please use past tense for all past events, including recent ones.
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]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.
- Please consider only editing the section you wish to change, rather than the whole page.
