 | This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses, and initial news reports may be unreliable. The latest updates to this article may not reflect the most current information. (December 2024) |
 | This template should not be substituted. |
 | Any breaking changes to this template, including moving it or nominating it for deletion, must be communicated in advance to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. Thank you. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template displays the message above and adds the article to Category:Current events. The template is automatically removed by Yapperbot once an article has not been edited for five hours.
It may be used in tandem with {{Current event editnotice}} where applicable.
Usage
{{current}}
{{current|section}}
{{current||current election}}
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 Wikipedia:How the Current events page works and Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates.
Parameters
The template takes two positional (unnamed) and three named parameters; all are optional:
|1=– overrides the word article|2=– overrides the words current event|date=– use month name and year, e.g.,|date=December 2024.
Details
Date:
- Use month name and year only; for example:
|date=December 2024. If omitted, this will be added by a bot. Categorizes the page into a monthly sub-category of Category:Current events for ease of navigation and maintenance.
