| 40x40px | This template should not be substituted. |
| 30px | This template uses Lua: |
This template displays the tag above and adds articles to Category:Current elections or one of its dated subcategories.
Guidelines
- Note that every article on Wikipedia has a General disclaimer indicating that the article contents may not be accurate.
- Generally it is expected that this template and its closely related templates will appear on an article for a few days; occasionally longer.
- 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, and also Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates
- Check main (article) namespace links
Usage
The template takes three parameters:
- Parameter 1 overrides the word "article"
- Parameter 2 overrides the words "a current election"
- Parameter 3 overrides the word "election"
- Named parameter "date" categorizes into a monthly sub category for ease of maintenance. This will be added by a bot if omitted.
