Template:Under construction is permanently
protected from editing because it is a
heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by
consensus, editors may use {{
edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's
documentation to add usage notes or
categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. This template does not have a testcases subpage. You can create the testcases subpage here. |

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Template:Under_construction was copied or moved into incubator:Template:Wp/nod/Under_construction with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. |
To make this formal: [i originally asked: please change "in several days" back to "in several hours" "in several hours" back to "in several days". Or perhaps better, change to "in a long time" and feel free to link to an essay (
wp:howlongisalongtime?) on what that means.] The revised request is: please change "in several hours" to "in several days" or "in a long time". Doncram (

I was referred to this edit by User:JBW with edit summary "Boldly changing message about removing the template after a while. The idea that it's acceptable to leave this tag in place and then go off and leave it for several days is absurd. If you believe there are good reasons for doing so, please feel welcome to revert and start a discussion about it, in which case I will be grateful if you will let me know.)"]. That edit changed the word "days" to "hours". I personally believe that policy on articles "under construction" is not one size fits all, and naturally depends on the history and breadth of public exposure. The editor referring me to this believed the edit did relate to some discussion somewhere, parts unknown. --Doncram ( talk, contribs) 10:14, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: The implied scope of the template is misleading regarding new pages. If a mainspace page requires this template because it is in a state of "being created", new page review norms point to the page requiring removal from mainspace instead. The remaining verbiage seems sufficient for all other use cases in draftspace as well as mainspace.
(I've also supplied a minor copy-editing tweak in my diff.)

In other templates, the example of the template would be shown above the documentation, not in the documentation.
Move the beginning of the includeonly
tag to start right before the last #ifeq
. (insert between the }}{{
)

Add a parameter alias/equivalent to the "comment" param titled "reason" with the same function. Qwerty284651 ( talk) 16:07, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Can we delete "If you are the editor who added this template and you are actively editing, please be sure to replace this template with "in use" during the active editing session. Click on the link for template parameters to use." .... 1. I am the editor who added it ... I don't need to be reminded of this advice every time I edit the article - and its of no interest to anyone else. 2. I never use the "in use" template and I see no reason why I need to see an advert for it or be instructed to do so by a template every time I come back to the article. It could just say "there is an "in use" template which anyone may use when editting this article". Victuallers ( talk) 11:50, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
