Template:Reported death editnotice
 | This template may have no transclusions. This is because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason. |
This template is meant to provide an effective generic message via an article editnotice for cases where the subject of a biography has been reported dead, but a discussion has established consensus that the reports are not yet sufficiently reliable to pass the bar of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and so we cannot characterize the article subject as dead. It can be used as alternative to semiprotection or as a supplement. The reader is pointed to the talk page both as a way to discourage editing and as an opportunity for them to report any new information that they may have.
Usage
[edit]See Wikipedia:Editnotice for instructions on how to create a per-page editnotice for an article. To use this generic message, the editnotice should only contain:
{{Reported death editnotice}}
No other code is needed.
