Guidelines
- This template was created for those occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) edit an article on the same day, as an advisory to editors.
- It is intended for use on articles for large wildfires, where official information should be consulted instead of Wikipedia exclusively. This template reminds readers that Wikipedia information may not be up-to-date and to consult secondary and primary sources instead.
- It should be used on any article that is considered a current wildfire. That is to say, one that is still taking place.
Usage
The template takes one optional parameter:
- blank parameter, or 1 – Overrides in a name for the event. It is placed in front of the current event wikilink.
TemplateData
This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Current wildfire in articles based on its TemplateData.
