 | This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses, and initial news reports may be unreliable. The latest updates to this article may not reflect the most current information. (November 2025) |
 | This template should not be substituted. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template displays the message above and adds the article to Category:Current events; a bot then adds the date parameter to move it into one of the dated subcategories of Category:Current events.
Guidelines
- Every article on Wikipedia has a general disclaimer that the article contents may not be accurate.
- As an advisory to editors, the template may optionally be used on those extraordinary occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) edit an article on the same day (for example, in the case of natural disasters or other breaking news).
- 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, with no informational consequence.
- This and closely related templates are generally expected to appear on an article for less than a day, sometimes longer.
- If you would like an article on a significant current event to be noticed, please see Wikipedia:How the Current events page works and Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates.
Usage
The template takes three parameters:
- Parameter 1 overrides the word "article"
- Parameter 2 overrides the words "current event"
- Named parameter "date" categorizes the page into a monthly sub-category of Category:Current events for ease of navigation and maintenance. This will be added by a bot if omitted.
