Template:Delayednotice/doc
| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Delayednotice. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
{{Delayednotice|YYYY|MM|DD|Message to be displayed on YYYY-MM-DD}}
Month names and abbreviations will also work. That is {{Delayednotice|2009|December|25|Merry Christmas!}} will work as well as {{Delayednotice|2009|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 plain text and not an mbox (see example).
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|2007|11|10|Tomorrow is [[Veteran's 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 2007 and onwards)
