Template:Current sport-related

Revision as of 13:19, 23 June 2018 by wikipedia>Zzyzx11 (Adding 'edit article' and 'talk page' links like any other maintenance tag. Such articles on current events tend to generate more editors and talk page discussions, so why not have these links here too)

Guidelines

Do not subst.

  • Note that every article on Wikipedia has a General disclaimer indicating that the article contents may not be accurate. As such, this template is redundant.
  • This template is for articles which involve an article about an evolving current sports-related event which is either changing rapidly or about which understanding is rapidly evolving. This is an advisory to readers that the article may be incomplete and subject to change.
  • As an advisory to editors, it may also be used in those occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) edit an article on the same day.
  • It is not intended to be used to mark an article that merely has recent news articles about the topic; if it were, thousands of articles would have this template.
  • Generally it is expected that this template and its closely related templates will appear on an article for perhaps a day or two, occasionally several days.
  • If you desire that an article be noticed as a topic about or related to a significant current event, see Wikipedia:How the Current events page works.
