Template:Template shortcuts

This template displays the tag above and adds articles to Category:Current events 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.
  • As an advisory to editors, the template may optionally be used in those extraordinary occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) edit an article on the same day, for example, in the case of natural disasters or other breaking news.
  • It is not intended to be used to mark an article that merely has recent news articles about the topic; if it were, hundreds of thousands of articles would have this template, with no informational consequence.
  • 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 "current event"
  • Named parameter "date" categorizes into a monthly sub category for ease of maintenance. This will be added by a bot if omitted.

Examples

Code Result
{{current}}
{{current|section|date=March 2026}}
{{current||current election|date=March 2026}}
