View source for Template talk:Inprogress

Under what conditions would this template be used?  What page(s) should talk about using this template? --[[User:Magda|magda]] 22:08, 21 Jun 2005 (EDT)

:I think it's a good idea, but should be used judiciously, and only when a user is actually actively working on something -- the label shouldn't be sitting around on a page for months. Just like with the "stub" template, we can check up on what's "in progress" by using [http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Template%3AInprogress this link].


I made it mainly because I'm actively working on [[Byzantine response to OCA autocephaly|this article]], and I didn't want visitors to think it was done or for anyone else to mess with my grand scheme (yet).  :)  But it occurred to me that it might be useful for other stuff, too.  And yes, I only intended it to be for an article someone was actively working on.  &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

: How does one insert their username in that "being edited by field"? --[[User:Joe Rodgers|{{User:Joe Rodgers/sig}}]] 04:00, 3 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Like this:  <nowiki>{{inprogress| user=YourNameHere}}</nowiki>  &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn. Andrew</i></b></font>]] <sup>[[User_talk:ASDamick|<font color="red">talk</font>]]</sup> <sup>[[Special:Randompage|<font color="blue">random</font>]]</sup> <sup>[[Special:Contributions/ASDamick|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]</sup> 07:50, 3 Jul 2005 (EDT)

I changed it to:  '''<nowiki>{{inprogress|~~~}}</nowiki>'''  This will put your name there.   It will add a link to your user page using the Nickname in your Preferences. (A fourth ~ will also add the date and time)
