TWC Wiki:Under Construction template guide

This page deals with how to use the templates Template:Under Construction heavy and Template:Under Construction light.

Usage:Under Construction heavy

Use this template to show that an article is under heavy construction and should not be edited. That is, use only on pages undergoing massive renovations.

Complete Code

Anyway, copy and paste the text below to create the above infobox.

{| class="messagebox" style="max-width:40em;background: #CCCCCC"
 |-
 |align=center|[[Image:Under construction icon-red.png|80px]]
 |align=center|This article is '''under heavy construction'''. Please '''do not edit this page unless you part of the construction team'''.
 <br/><small>If you are editing this page, please '''sign your name on this template''' with 4 tildes <nowiki>(~~~~)
|}</nowiki>

Or, you can simply type {{Under Construction heavy}}, if you're too lazy to fill out the signature line. I strongly discourage this as the build team, if there is one, will not know if it was you who posted that message.

IMPORTANT!

If you are part of a build team constructing the page in question, please fill out the signature line, the last line in the code of this template. That is, this line:

<br/><small>If you are editing this page, please '''sign your name on this template''' with 4 tildes <nowiki>(~~~~)</nowiki>

Simply type in 4 tildes, or ~~~~ to sign your name.

In the complete code, the line is highlighted in this example:

{| class="messagebox" style="max-width:40em;background: #CCCCCC"
 |-
 |align=center|[[Image:Under construction icon-red.png|80px]]
 |align=center|This article is '''under heavy construction'''. Please '''do not edit this page unless you part of the construction team'''.
 '''<br/><small>~~~~</small>'''
 |}

This gives the box below:

This article is under heavy construction. Please do not edit this page unless you part of the construction team. CoconutFred 15:23, 15 December 2010 (MST)
