New page

<noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>

== Purpose ==
'''{{tl|Import placeholder}}''' is used on pages that were automatically created during
content imports (typically from Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects) but do not yet contain
locally developed material.

It helps:
* alert readers that the page is incomplete,
* guide editors toward improving and localizing the content,
* link to the equivalent article on the source wiki for reference,
* categorize the page so it can be found and expanded later.

== Usage ==
Place the template at the top of a page that is known to be an imported placeholder:

<pre>
{{Import placeholder}}
</pre>

This displays an information-style ambox and automatically links to the corresponding article
on the English Wikipedia (using the current page title).

=== When the title differs ===
If the imported page’s original title is different from the title on {{SITENAME}}, specify it
using <code>|article=</code>:

<pre>
{{Import placeholder
| article = International Organization for Standardization
}}
</pre>

=== When the source wiki is not English Wikipedia ===
If the content came from another Wikimedia project, use <code>|source=</code> and
<code>|interwiki=</code> to control the displayed text and link prefix:

<pre>
{{Import placeholder
| source = German Wikipedia
| interwiki = de
| article = Deep Tech
}}
</pre>

== Parameters ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Description !! Default
|-
| <code>source</code> || Name of the wiki where the content originated. || <code>Wikipedia</code>
|-
| <code>interwiki</code> || The interwiki prefix used to link back to the source wiki. || <code>w</code>
|-
| <code>article</code> || Title of the article on the source wiki to link to. || <code>{{PAGENAME}}</code>
|}

== Categories ==
Pages using this template are automatically placed in
[[:Category:Imported placeholder pages]].

== Notes ==
* This template should be removed once the page has been expanded or rewritten with locally
relevant content.
* When improving a placeholder, consider adding sources, updating terminology for the
deep-tech context, and removing any imported policy shortcuts or formatting that
doesn’t apply on {{SITENAME}}.
