Purpose

{{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:

{{Import placeholder}}

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 The Deep Tech Wiki, specify it using |article=:

{{Import placeholder
 | article = International Organization for Standardization
}}

Parameters

Parameter Description Default
source Name of the wiki where the content originated. Wikipedia
interwiki The interwiki prefix used to link back to the source wiki. w
article Title of the article on the source wiki to link to. Import placeholder/doc

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.
