'''Guide for usage = please don't if at all possible!'''
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===
+
If you do feel you have to use them please use by transcluding the template, e.g. paste the appropriate one at the top of the page:
  
Anyway, copy and paste the text below to create the above infobox.
+
<nowiki>{{Under Construction Heavy}}</nowiki>
 +
<nowiki>{{Under Construction Medium}}</nowiki>
 +
<nowiki>{{Under Construction Light}}</nowiki>
  
 +
If you use any of the templates please explain what you are doing on the article's talk page and sign your comment using the four tildes <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.
  
<nowiki>{| class="messagebox" style="max-width:40em;background: #CCCCCC"
+
Please remember to remove the template if you stop work on the article for any period of time.

|}</nowiki>
 
  
Or, you can simply type <nowiki>{{Under Construction heavy}}</nowiki>, 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.

If you notice one of these templates on an article that hasn't been worked on for over a week please feel free to remove it.
  
  
===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:

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

There are three templates that can be used to mark a page as under construction.

Guide for usage = please don't if at all possible!

If you do feel you have to use them please use by transcluding the template, e.g. paste the appropriate one at the top of the page:

{{Under Construction Heavy}}
{{Under Construction Medium}}
{{Under Construction Light}}

If you use any of the templates please explain what you are doing on the article's talk page and sign your comment using the four tildes ~~~~.

Please remember to remove the template if you stop work on the article for any period of time.

If you notice one of these templates on an article that hasn't been worked on for over a week please feel free to remove it.
