Template:Current/doc

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 Wikipedia 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 How the Current events page works and In the news/Candidates.
 * [ 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 bot if omitted.
