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.

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.
