{{Category see also|Wdefcon templates}}
This template (specifically, {{tlu|User:EnterpriseyBot/defcon}}, which this template transcludes) is updated every hour by [[User:DeadbeefBot|DeadbeefBot]]. Previously, the template was updated by [[User:DefconBot|DefconBot]] (via {{tlu|User:DefconBot/defcon}}), [[User:VoxelBot|VoxelBot]], and [[User:EnterpriseyBot|EnterpriseyBot]]. However, if the bots are down, human editors are required to update the template.

'''IMPORTANT:''' Before updating this template, please check [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:EnterpriseyBot/defcon&action=history its revision history] to see if the pages have been updated recently. If the bots are running properly, please ''do not'' edit this template; bots are more efficient than humans.

'''IMPORTANT:''' Before updating this template, please check [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:EnterpriseyBot/defcon&action=history its revision history] to see if the pages have been updated recently. If the bots are running properly, please ''do not'' update manually; bots are more efficient than humans.
*'''Note:'''<small> You must be confirmed ([[WP:AUTOCONFIRM|automatically]] or [[WP:RFP/C|manually]]) to do this.</small>
*'''Note:''' This must be done in the source editor.
To manually edit the template:

#Go to '''[[User:EnterpriseyBot/defcon]].'''
#*'''Note:''' [https://enterprisey.github.io/reverts-visualizer/ Enterprisey's tool] no longer works.
#Change <code>|level</code> with respective level according to current RPM stats from either [[WP:HG|Huggle]] or [https://redwarn.toolforge.org/tools/rpm/ RedWarn tools]. The RPM to Level is shown in the [[#Levels]] table below.
#Change <code>|sign</code> with <code><nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki></code>
#Change the number in <code>|info</code> with the current RPM stats from either [[WP:HG|Huggle]] or [https://redwarn.toolforge.org/tools/rpm/ RedWarn tools]
#*'''Note:''' Please don't touch the other parameters because it will affect how the template is displayed.

{{collapse top|title=Instructions for manually updating the template when the bot is giving inaccurate stats}}
'''Note''': If the bot is giving inaccurate stats, go to [[User talk:Enterprisey|the operator's talk page]] and report the inaccuracies first before updating manually.
To manually edit the template, change the <code>|level</code>, <code>|sign</code>, and <code>|info</code> parameters to <code><nowiki>|level = {{WikiDefcon/levels|REVERT PER MINUTE}} |sign = ~~~~~ |info = REVERT PER MINUTE stats according to [[User:YOUR USERNAME|YOUR USERNAME]]</nowiki></code>. The revert per minute stats can come from either [[WP:HG|Huggle]] or [https://enterprisey.github.io/reverts-visualizer/ Enterprisey's tool]. Please don't touch the other parameters because it will affect how the template is displayed.

For instance:
*<code><nowiki>|level = {{WikiDefcon/levels| 5 }}</nowiki></code> means 5 reverts per minute
*<code><nowiki>|level = {{WikiDefcon/levels| 10 }}</nowiki></code> means 10 reverts per minute
