This template is for articles actively undergoing construction. If the article instead is actively undergoing a major edit, please use {{In use}}.
In general, this template should not be used for new articles with little or no content. Instead, the sandbox should be used to develop the article so that it has reasonable content when it is copied into mainspace.
Articles tagged with this template are automatically added to the category Category:Pages actively undergoing construction. Add the parameter |placedby=
(followed by your user name; do not insert a full signature) to make it easy for people to contact the person who placed the template. If a page using this template has not been edited in 8 days, a bot will automatically remove the template.
If used on a non-article page (such as a user page) which is not yet ready for use, type {{Under construction|notready=true}}
. That will produce the following:
