Template:Current person

Shortcut

Do not subst.

This template is for articles which involve an article about a person involved in a current event which is either changing rapidly or about which understanding is rapidly evolving. This is an advisory to readers that the article may be incomplete and subject to change.
As an advisory to editors, it may also be used in those occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) edit an article on the same day.
It is not intended to be used to mark an article that merely has recent news articles about the topic; if it were, thousands of articles would have this template.
Generally it is expected that this template and its closely related templates will appear on an article for perhaps a day or two, occasionally several days.
If you desire that an article be noticed as a topic about or related to a significant current event, see Wikipedia:How the Current events page works.

Check main (article) namespace links

Place this template at the top of the article, if the entire article is relevant to the related article.
Alternatively, place the template in an appropriate section of the article, and use the first parameter to indicate that the "section" is relevant to the related article.
