Template:Under discussion/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Under discussion. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
This template is not for use in the main namespace, as it is an unnecessary self-reference.
Changing the appearance
Modify the default "page" to "section" (for example), with: |section:
 | This section is the subject of a current discussion. Please feel free to join in. This doesn't mean that you may not be bold in editing this section, but that it would be a good idea to check the discussion first. |
If the discussion concerns a proposed change to the status of a policy or guideline page (from policy to guideline, guideline to essay, etc.), then you may use |status:
| The status of this page as a policy or guideline is the subject of a current discussion. Please feel free to join in. This doesn't mean that you may not be bold in editing this page, but that it would be a good idea to check the discussion first. |
Add a shortcut link or links with additional unnamed parameters: ||WP:SC|WP:SHORT|...:
| This page is the subject of a current discussion. Please feel free to join in. This doesn't mean that you may not be bold in editing this page, but that it would be a good idea to check the discussion first. |
Specifying a discussion location
To link to a specific talk page discussion, use |talk=Section heading, replacing "Section heading" with the heading of the section of the talk page where the discussion is taking place.
Alternatively, if the discussion is taking place elsewhere than on the talk page of the current page, use |talkpage=Full page title, where "Full page title" includes the namespace prefix (such as "Wikipedia talk:"), and may include a section heading after a # character. It is also possible to use both the talkpage and talk parameter: |talkpage=Name of talk page|talk=section heading
