Template:Wip/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Wip (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

Articles that use this template are in an unfinished state. They often contain editing notes, and they may be poorly formatted. They typically require significant work before they can be considered an article that stands alone. Please tag such articles as {{wip}} when you see them, and please remove the tag if you see it's no longer appropriate.

Copy and past the following and fill in as appropriate:

{{wip|date={{subst:Today}}|note=}}

You can supply a note explaining why the article is marked as a WIP using the note= parameter.

Articles with this template will be added to Category:Work in Progress.

Short articles that are in a finished state but contain only minimal information should be categorized as {{stub}}s instead.

As a special case, date=0000-00-00 will suppress the display of the date information. This is only for use on old articles that had the wip template before the date= option was added to the template.

Examples

{{wip|date=0000-00-00}}

{{wip|date={{subst:Today}}
After submitting, the subst will get replaced to become:
{{wip|date=2011-01-25}}

{{wip|date=2011-01-25|note=This is an example.}}

{{wip|date=0000-00-00}}

{{wip|date=0000-00-00|note=This is an example.}}
