Template:Underconstruction/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Underconstruction (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage[edit]

This template is for articles actively undergoing construction. If the article instead is actively undergoing a major edit, please use {{Inuse}}.

In general, this template should not be used for new articles with little content.

Add the parameter |placedby= (followed by your login name) to make it easy for people to contact the person who placed the template.

If used on a non-article page (such as a user page) which is not yet ready for use, type {{Underconstruction|notready=true}}. That will produce the following:

This template page is in the middle of an expansion or major revamping, and is not yet ready for use. You are welcome to assist in its construction by editing it as well. If this article has not been edited in several days, please remove this template.

A comment may be added to the box using the |comment= switch.

As this template is used in multiple namespaces it uses {{mbox}}, which will automatically detect individual namespace usage and adapt appropriate styling accordingly.
