Template:List under construction

Template documentationviewedithistorypurge

Usage

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, and encourages work from others.

There is no official time limit on how long this template can remain. However, there should be reasonably frequent edits to the page, showing that progress is being made.

During active editing sessions

{{In use}}

{{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. The template looks like this:

{{In use section}}

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}}

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}}

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}}

{{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.

Over multiple days

{{Under construction}}

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}}

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}}

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.

Talk page banners

{{Being closed}}

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}}

If a talk page is actively being archived, add {{Being archived}} to the top so the archival doesn't clobber edits.

{{Being rewritten}}

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.
