 | This article is about a current wildfire where information can change quickly or be unreliable. The latest page updates may not reflect the most up-to-date information. This wildfire is still actively burning, so residents should refer to local authorities for up-to-date information. |
 | This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason. |
This is the {{current wildfire}} article message box.
For pages that are considered current wildfires see: main (article) namespace links
Guidelines edit
- This template was created for those occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) edit an article on the same day, as an advisory to editors.
- It is intended for use on articles for large wildfires, where official information should be consulted instead of Wikipedia exclusively. This template reminds readers that Wikipedia information may not be up-to-date and to consult secondary and primary sources instead.
- It should be used on any article that is considered a current wildfire. That is to say, one that is still taking place.
Usage edit
The template takes one optional parameter:
- blank parameter, or 1 – Overrides in a name for the event. It is placed in front of the current event wikilink.
TemplateData edit
This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Current wildfire in articles based on its TemplateData.
