User:Web comic/Roadmap/Current event templates

Current and future event templates are designed to indicate that an article or a section is describing a current or future event, and to warn readers about the fast-changing or speculative nature of the article.

Current events
The main current event template is current. It adds the article into Category:Current events:

The current event template may be used optionally to warn the editor or reader about the great flux of edits and the fast-changing state of the article, due to the fact that current events tend to get the most attention from editors. In such a case, the template is subject to removal when the event described is no longer receiving massive editing attention.

Other closely related templates include:

The current template also receives parameters; for example:

Topic related templates include:

Future events
Note that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball: ''Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. All articles about future events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred''.

Consider using the crystal template for articles that may violate WP:CRYSTAL:
