WP:CET}}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 [[Wikipedia: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. Wikipediathis wiki attracts numerous editors who want to update articles in real time immediately after [[WP:RSBREAKING|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.}}

=== 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 [[Wikipedia:protection|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.
