Template:Recent death/doc

Nuvola apps important.svg This template does merely denote that an article's subject has recently died. Nuvola apps important.svg

This template warns readers that the information presented in an article may not be the most up-to-date or accurate due to unconfirmed or inaccurately reported information about a recently deceased person. Readers should therefore be cautious. This is generally true for all of our articles, but in cases of extraordinary public attention the risk of misinformation is elevated.

As such, this template should be used only in cases where many editors (perhaps dozens or more) are editing the article on the same day. It should be removed as soon as this editing subsides. Do use it merely to tag the article of a recently deceased person, as that is not the template's purpose.

This template will add the article to Category:Recent deaths.

Also check the body of the article, infoboxes and other templates, and the categories at the end of the article and make the appropriate changes.
