Template:Current disaster list/doc

This is the current disaster list article message box.

Guidelines
Do not subst.


 * This template is for articles that contain an active list of disasters, which is either changing rapidly or about which understanding is rapidly evolving. This is an advisory to readers that the article may be incomplete and subject to change. Use of this template without indicating the topic or article that it is related to may result in prompt removal of this template.
 * As an advisory to editors, it is to be used in those occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) edit an article on the same day.
 * 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.
 * Generally it is expected 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 How the Current events page works.


 * [ Check main (article) namespace links]

Usage
The template takes a single optional parameter  that will override the word disasters in the template.
