Usage

{{Delayednotice|YYYY|MM|DD|Message to be displayed from YYYY-MM-DD onward}}

Month names and abbreviations will also work. That is {{Delayednotice|2025|December|25|Merry Christmas!}} will work as well as {{Delayednotice|2025|Dec|25|Merry Christmas!}}.

Since the output is an {{mbox}}, all the parameters of the {{mbox}} template are accepted to modify the mbox (see its documentation for parameters).

An optional parameter plain exists so that if plain=yes the output will be just text and not an mbox (see example).

A second optional parameter afterdate exists so that if afterdate=no the notice will only appear on the specified date and not after the date as well.

The notice will not show up in your watchlist when it become active, so it's a good idea to place it on a high-visibility page that you or your audience usually frequent.

Examples

Placing the following on your talk page (or anywhere else)

  • {{Delayednotice|2023|11|10|Tomorrow is [[Veterans Day]], and the article will be on the [[WP:SA|''On this day...'']] section. Remember to watch the page for higher levels of vandalism than usual.}}

will produce (from 10 November 2023 and onwards).

Using the |plain=yes parameter will simply display the text as you typed it (without any box or external markup). For example,

  • <blockquote>{{Delayednotice|2023|11|10|plain=yes|Tomorrow is [[Veterans Day]], and the article will be on the [[WP:SA|''On this day...'']] section. Remember to watch the page for higher levels of vandalism than usual.}}</blockquote>

will produce (from 10 November 2023 and onwards)

Tomorrow is Veterans Day, and the article will be on the On this day... section. Remember to watch the page for higher levels of vandalism than usual.
