<div class="hatnote">This index documents local templates. Follow this wiki's local policies and guidance when using the examples.</div>
==Current events==
These templates are not meant to mark an article that merely has recent news articles about the topic (if it were, hundreds of thousands of articles would have these templates, with no informational consequence). Generally it is expected that these templates will appear on an article for less than a day, or occasionally longer, but not several weeks (see [[Project:Responsible tagging|No disclaimers in articles]] for more information). If the article continues to have issues with sources, one of the templates listed at {{Section link|Project:Template index/Sources of articles#Verifiability and sources}} should be used instead.

{{tlrow|Current|notes=It adds the article into [[:Category:Current events]]. Used to warn the editor or reader about the great flux of edits and the fast-changing state of the article, due to the fact that current events tend to get the most attention from editors. this wiki attracts numerous editors who want to update articles in real time immediately after [[Project:Reliable sources|breaking news reports]] are published. However, sources to breaking news reports often contain serious inaccuracies, and so the template can also draw attention to the need to add improved sources as soon as they become available. In such a case, the template is subject to removal when the event described is no longer receiving massive editing attention.}}

==Work in progress==
=== During active editing sessions ===
Elite Dangerous Wiki does not use pre-emptive software '''article locks''' on pages, because this would be contrary to the policies of Elite Dangerous Wiki and spirit of openness. Page [[Project:Protection policy|protection]] is never to be used for closing down an article's normal development and community editing, and should be used only to prevent actual disruption.

{{tlrow|In use|category=no|notes=The {{tl|In use}} tags can be used to alert people that you are in the process of making a larger edit. The article remains open to editing, but courteous users should leave it alone until you're done.}}
{{tlrow|In use section|category=no|notes=This version is placed at the top of a section you are actively editing for a short period of time. The tag is intended to inform people that someone is currently working on a section of the article, thereby reducing edit conflicts.}}
{{tlrow|Being created|category=no|notes=The {{T|Being created}} template is used by editors who have made an article and will be adding content within a matter of minutes or hours.}}
{{tlrow|Being translated|category=no|notes={{template|Being translated}} is the same as {{template|in use}}, but it's used when an article is in the process of being translated from another Elite Dangerous Wiki language into the English one. Again, it should only be used while you are improving the article.}}

{{tlrow|Under construction|category=no|notes=This template is for articles actively undergoing construction, i.e., continuous improvements spread out over hours, days, or longer. The intent is to signal to other editors that while they may edit the article, they should be a little more forgiving than usual.}}
{{tlrow|List under construction|category=no|notes=This template is for [[MOS:LIST|lists]] that have been created but not completed to the creator's intention of completion. Since many lists are very long and creation in a single session is impractical, this template allows the page to be placed in [[Project:Manual of Style|main namespace]] while it is still being constructed.}}
{{tlrow|Recently revised|category=no|notes=The {{tl|Recently revised}} template can be a helpful tool for bringing a page up to [[Project:Manual of Style|Good article]] or [[Project:Manual of Style|Featured article status]] through a secondary review. It is not meant to be placed on a page long-term and should not remain on a given page for more than several days.}}
{{tlrow|Being closed|category=no|lock=no|notes=If a formal page discussion or a formal XfD discussion is actively being [[Project:Consensus|closed]], add {{tl|Being closed}} to the top so editors know they shouldn't comment.}}
