Forum:Origin of inuse and fact templates

I just wanted to advise everyone of a tiny new template that's been added to the site. I was kinda shocked to note we didn't have a way to easily request a citation for a particular statement, and thought it was weird that things like (source?) were appearing as normal text in some articles. Now, you only have to type and you'll get a nifty lil thing that looks like this:

Articles so tagged will be added to a category that will centralize all articles needing further citation.

It's a pretty standard concept that appears across wikipedia and several wikis, but it's brand new here. If you want more details about how/when to use it in the context of this wiki, go to the template page.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍ 10:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, I suppose I should mention that another new template was added a month or so ago to help editors working on pages that may require several days to finish. If you find yourself involved in an job that requires more time than you have during a particular session, you may wish to consider using the tag. This puts up a message on the page that might help to give you a little more time to finish your edits before someone else tears down what you're trying to build.


 * Again, it's not a terribly innovative idea, but it's just one of those li'l niceties that other sites had that we didn't.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍ 10:33, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Looks great the only thing i would suggest is making it wider in lenght and smaller in hight so it doesn't take up so much room but other wise great template (good colours, sweet pic and informitive information) Dark Lord Xander 14:51, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Archivist's notes
This is closed as a "design changer" and "out of date", because both templates are still in use, but inuse doesn't look anything like it did in 2008, so some of the comments don't make as much sense anymore. 16:59:58 Tue 31 May 2011
