Usage

This template is mostly used on talk pages to show that a section of discussion is "awaiting" an action. Editors can easily spot places needing something (help, improvement, review, etc.)

This template is meant to be used with an explanation on the specific needs of the page/subpage/section. E.g., it can be used to tell other editors that a specific comment on a talk page is "awaiting" review by others to be included in the main article.

Example

Spelling

I think the spelling of XYZ should be changed in the article for WXYZ --User1

I agree, these spelling rules found here should apply --User2
No it is actually the right spelling --User3
ω Awaiting sources on comment above --User1
I took the information concerning the right spelling here --User3
Ok, we do not need to modify the article then. Face-smile.svg Thank you. --User1
