This template displays the tag above and adds articles to Category:Current events.
Guidelines
Do not subst
- Note that every article has a General disclaimer indicating that the article contents may not be accurate. As such, this template is redundant.
- As an advisory to editors, the template may optionally be used in those occasions that many editors edit an article on the same day.
- It is not intended to be used to mark an article that merely has recent news articles about the topic; if it were, far too many articles would have this template, with no informational consequence.
- Generally it is expected that this template and its closely related templates will appear on an article for a short period of time
- If you desire that an article be noticed as a topic about or related to a significant current event, see Wikipedia:How the Current events page works, and also Wikipedia:In the news section on the Main Page/Candidates
Usage
The template takes two parameters, neither of which is required.
- Parameter 1 overrides the word "article"
- Parameter 2 overrides the word "event"
