Revision as of 11:57, 26 August 2010
Template:Forum archives header I just wanted to advise everyone of a tiny new template that's been added to the site. I was kinda shocked to note we didn't have a way to easily request a citation for a particular statement, and thought it was weird that things like (source?) were appearing as normal text in some articles. Now, you only have to type {{fact}} and you'll get a nifty lil thing that looks like this: [source needed]
Articles so tagged will be added to a category that will centralize all articles needing further citation.
It's a pretty standard concept that appears across wikipedia and several wikis, but it's brand new here. If you want more details about how/when to use it in the context of this wiki, go to the template page. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 10:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, I suppose I should mention that another new template was added a month or so ago to help editors working on pages that may require several days to finish. If you find yourself involved in an job that requires more time than you have during a particular session, you may wish to consider using the {{inuse}} tag. This puts up a message on the page that might help to give you a little more time to finish your edits before someone else tears down what you're trying to build.
This article is currently undergoing significant editing. Editors should not use this tag for more than 72 hours. Please do not edit it until you no longer see this message, or until 72 hours have passed from the time this message appeared in the edit history.
