WikiDevi.Wi-Cat.RU:Edit lock
This page is a how-to guide detailing a practice or process on the English WikiDevi. |
WikiDevi does not use software article locks on pages, because some feel that this would be contrary to the policy and spirit of openness. Page protection is never to be used for closing down an article's normal development and community editing.
{{inuse}} template
On the other hand we do have {{inuse}} tags, which can be used to alert people that you are in the process of making a larger edit. The article remains open to editing, but courteous users should leave it alone until you're done. The template looks like this:
This is actively undergoing a major edit for a short while. To help avoid edit conflicts, please do not edit this page while this message is displayed. This page was last revised at 12:13, 23 September 2016 (UTC) (7 years ago). Please remove this template if this page hasn't been edited in several hours. If you are the editor who added this template, please be sure to remove it or replace it with {{Underconstruction}} between editing sessions. |
{{intranslation}} template
Also, {{intranslation}}. It's the same as {{inuse}}, but it's used when an article is in the process of being translated from another WikiDevi into the English one. Again, it should only be used while you are improving the article.
It also adds Category:Articles in translation as a category in the article, which of course gets removed once the notice is removed, too.
{{archiving}} template
If a talk page is actively being archived, add {{archiving}} to the top so the archival doesn't clobber edits. Template:Archiving
