This template displays the tag above and adds articles to category:Current events or one of its dated subcategories.

Guidelines

baguhin
  • 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 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.
  • It is expected, when used properly, that this template and its closely related templates will appear on an article for perhaps a day or two, occasionally several days.
  • 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.

The template takes three optional parameters

  • Default parameter 1 overrides the word "article"
  • Default parameter 2 overrides the word "event"
  • Named parameter "date" categorises into a monthly sub category for ease of maintenance. This will be added by a WP:BOT if omitted. (A value of a year alone is used for year long events or seasons)}
