This is a documentation subpage for Template:Under construction. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
Usage
[edit]This template is for articles actively undergoing construction. If the article instead is actively undergoing a major edit, please use {{In use}}.
In general, this template should not be used for new articles with little or no content. Instead, the sandbox should be used to develop the article so that it has reasonable content when it is copied into mainspace.
Articles tagged with this template are automatically added to the category Category:Pages actively undergoing construction. Add the parameter |placedby=
(followed by your user name; do not insert a full signature) to make it easy for people to contact the person who placed the template. If a page using this template has not been edited in 8 days, a bot will automatically remove the template.
If used on a non-article page (such as a user page) which is not yet ready for use, type {{Under construction|notready=true}}
. That will produce the following:
This template page or section is in a state of significant expansion or restructuring, and is not yet ready for use. You are welcome to assist in its construction by editing it as well. If this template page has not been edited in several days, please remove this template. If you are the editor who added this template and you are actively editing, please be sure to replace this template with {{in use}} during the active editing session. Click on the link for template parameters to use.
This template was last edited by 184.146.170.127 (talk | contribs) 2 months ago. (Update timer) |
A comment may be added to the box using the |comment= switch.
As this template is used in multiple namespaces it uses {{mbox}}, which will automatically detect individual namespace usage and adapt appropriate styling accordingly.
