Template:Work in progress

Documentation for Template:Work in progress [view] [edit] [history] [purge] (How does this work?)

{{work in progress|~~~~}}

A hatnote notice that a template or module is still being tested and shouldn't be used by others yet. To be used at the top of documentation subpages, underneath the {{Documentation subpage}} template.

When adding this hatnote to a page, your signature (i.e. ~~~~) must be in the first parameter. This lets others know who's working on what. Additional information about the state of the work can be included before the signature if desired.

When used in template documentation, automatically adds Category:WIP templates to the template being documented.

• If using {{Documentation}} and a /doc subpage, place the hatnote on the documentation subpage, underneath the {{documentation subpage}} hatnote.
• Otherwise, include the hatnote directly in the template page inside a <noinclude> tag.
