Template:Edit lock templates

Edit lock templates

{{In use}} links talk edit	The {{In use}} tags can be used to alert people that you are in the process of making a larger edit. The article remains open to editing, but courteous users should leave it alone until you're done.
{{In use section}} links talk edit	This version is placed at the top of a section you are actively editing for a short period of time. The tag is intended to inform people that someone is currently working on a section of the article, thereby reducing edit conflicts.
{{GOCE in use}} links talk edit	The {{GOCE in use}} template is for pages actively undergoing a major edit by the Guild of Copy Editors. Typically, a copy editor who wishes to notify other potential editors that an article is being copy-edited will place the template on the article in order to reduce potential edit conflicts.
{{Being created}} links talk edit	The {{Being created}} template is used by editors who have made an article and will be adding content within a matter of minutes or hours.
{{Being translated}} links talk edit	{{Being translated}} is the same as {{in use}}, but it's used when an article is in the process of being translated from another Wikipedia language into the English one. Again, it should only be used while you are improving the article.
{{Under construction}} links talk edit	This template is for articles actively undergoing construction, i.e., continuous improvements spread out over hours, days, or longer. The intent is to signal to other editors that while they may edit the article, they should be a little more forgiving than usual.
{{List under construction}} links talk edit	This template is for lists that have been created but not completed to the creator's intention of completion. Since many lists are very long and creation in a single session is impractical, this template allows the page to be placed in main namespace while it is still being constructed.
{{Recently revised}} links talk edit	The {{Recently revised}} template can be a helpful tool for bringing a page up to Good article or Featured article status through a secondary review. It is not meant to be placed on a page long-term and should not remain on a given page for more than several days.
{{Being closed}} links talk edit	If a formal page discussion or a formal XfD discussion is actively being closed, add {{Being closed}} to the top so editors know they shouldn't comment.
{{Being archived}} links talk edit	If a talk page is actively being archived, add {{Being archived}} to the top so the archival doesn't clobber edits.
{{Being rewritten}} links talk edit	This template is used at the top of an article's talk page to indicate that the article is being rewritten in a sandbox or subpage.
