Line 1: Line 1:
This template indicates an article is being written.  If an article stands alone, even in an incomplete state, please refrain from including this template.  It is mainly to be used for articles that do not stand alone, that contain editing notes, or that otherwise do no make sense when read as-is.
Look at what interesting goodies I found while I was looking for settings details for my personal wiki:


To indicate an article is a work in progress, include the template at the top of the article by using the following template syntax at the top of your article:
:<small>Last edit: {{REVISIONMONTH}}/{{REVISIONDAY2}}/{{REVISIONYEAR}} by [[User talk:{{REVISIONUSER}}|{{REVISIONUSER}}]].</small>


<nowiki>{{wip}}</nowiki>
The above edit line will always be up-to-date with the most recent edit to the page, and who the author of that edit was. This could totally solve the issue with almost no one using '''date=''' on the current WIP template. At least we will have a "last edited" flag. The only downside is it will update on ANY edit, including bot edits and minor edits. I haven't found any way to ignore bots. Minor edits are debatable whether to be ignored or not (a lot of people on a lot of wikis misuse the minor edit flag, and post substantial edits/additions/removals under the minor flag). ~ {{:User:Aggelakis/Sig1}} 11:23, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 
When this template is included on a page, the page will be placed into an additional category called [[:Category:Work in Progress|Work in Progress]], where you can see all articles currently being edited.
