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 No disclaimers in articles for more information). If the article continues to have issues with sources, one of the templates listed at Project:Template index/Sources of articles § Verifiability and sources should be used instead.

{{Current}}

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 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.

`{{Current event editnotice\|expiry={{subst:#time:Y-m-d\|+ 2 weeks}}}}` links talk edit	When editing: Information must be cited to reliable sources or it will be removed. Information must be presented from a neutral point of view. Please write in summary style and avoid indiscriminate detail—Wikipedia is not a newspaper. If reliable sources attribute information to a third party rather than stating it in their own voice, it should also be attributed in the article text. Images and other media must have a verifiable copyright status. Non-free media must satisfy all of the relevant criteria. Expression error: Unrecognised word "minutes". Please use past tense for all past events, including recent ones.

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 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.

What to type

What it makes

{{In use}}
links talk edit

The {{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.

{{In use section}}
links talk edit

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.

{{GOCE in use}}
links talk edit

The {{GOCE in use}} template is for pages actively undergoing a major edit by the Guild of Copy Editors. Typically, a copy editor who wishes to notify other potential editors that an article is being copy-edited will place the template on the article in order to reduce potential edit conflicts.

{{Being created}}
links talk edit

The {{Being created}} template is used by editors who have made an article and will be adding content within a matter of minutes or hours.

This new wiki article is currently being created through collaboration and successive edits. To help avoid edit conflicts and other confusion, the creator asks that for a short time this page not be edited unnecessarily, or nominated for deletion during this early stage of development.

This page was last edited by Maintenance script (talk | contribs) 30 hours ago. (Update timer) Please remove this notice if the page has not been edited for several hours.

{{Being translated}}
links talk edit

{{Being translated}} is the same as {{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.

Over multiple days

What to type

What it makes

{{Under construction}}
links talk edit

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.

{{List under construction}}
links talk edit

This template is for 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 main namespace while it is still being constructed.

{{Recently revised}}
links talk edit

The {{Recently revised}} template can be a helpful tool for bringing a page up to Good article or 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.

{{Being closed}}
links talk edit

If a formal page discussion or a formal XfD discussion is actively being closed, add {{Being closed}} to the top so editors know they shouldn't comment.

An editor is currently closing this discussion. To help reduce edit conflicts, consider not contributing further to it; the result should be posted soon. Any additional comments may not be considered by the closer.

The user who placed this notice is listed in the page history; the page was last edited by Maintenance script at 09:32, 31 October 2026 (refresh). Unless the debate is long, complex, or acrimonious, you can remove this notice if the discussion has remained open for several hours after it was placed.

{{Being archived}}
links talk edit

If a talk page is actively being archived, add {{Being archived}} to the top so the archival doesn't clobber edits.

This talk page is currently being archived. To prevent edit conflicts and to ensure your message is actually read, please don't edit this page until this notice is removed.

This page was last edited at 09:32, 31 October 2026 (UTC) (30 hours ago) by Maintenance script. This template is just a polite request and should be removed if left in place for a few hours.

{{Being rewritten}}
links talk edit

This template is used at the top of an article's talk page to indicate that the article is being rewritten in a sandbox or subpage.
