{{redirect|Template:Flux|the template for formatting fluctuations|Template:Fluctuation formatter}} {{Documentation subpage}} {{Nosubst}} {{Twinkle standard installation}} {{Template shortcuts|flux|live}} {{Lua|Module:Unsubst}} 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]]. ==Guidelines== * Every article on Wikipedia has a [[Wikipedia:General disclaimer|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 [[Wikipedia:How the Current events page works]] and [[Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates]]. :''[{{fullurl:Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|limit=999&namespace=0}} Check main (article) namespace links]'' ==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 [[WP:BOT|bot]] if omitted. ===Examples=== {{Current/examples}} == TemplateData == {{TemplateData header}} <templatedata> { "description": "Use this cleanup template to indicate that an article documents a current event, that information may change rapidly as the event progresses and that initial news reports may be unreliable.", "format": "inline", "params": { "date": { "label": "Month and year", "description": "The month and year that the template was placed (in full). \"{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}\" inserts the current month and year automatically.", "type": "line", "autovalue": "{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}", "example": "January 2013", "suggested": true }, "2": { "label": "Type of event", "description": "Text to replace \"current event\" in the template", "type": "string", "example": "current aviation incident", "suggested": true }, "1": { "label": "Affected area", "description": "Text to replace the word \"article\", usually \"section\"", "type": "string", "autovalue": "section", "example": "section" } }, "paramOrder": [ "date", "2", "1" ] } </templatedata> ==Redirects== * {{tl|Current section}} ==See also== * [[Wikipedia:Current event templates]] * {{tl|Currentdate}} * {{tl|Speculation}} * {{tl|In use}} * {{tl|Recentism}} * {{tl|Update}} <includeonly>{{Sandbox other|| [[Category:Temporal templates]] }}</includeonly>
