This template defines the table "DisplayTemporarily". This table has not been created yet.

Documentation for the above template (sometimes hidden from view).

Description

Template used to allow a temporary message or information to be displayed on a page, and tracked (for later removal) in the relevant Cargo table.

This allows for temporary exposure of information such as, e.g.:

  • Fixboxes/issue sections only relevant for a while after the release of a patch.
  • Key points or similar notes about temporary measurements needed, or future events (e.g. service shutdowns) of a game.

Note that the data will also be hidden when previewing the page if the current date is outside of the specified range!


Syntax

{{DisplayTemporarily|from= December 1, 2019 (optional) |to= January 1, 2020 (optional) |data= {{ii}} Online services will be unavailable during the month of December. }}
  • from start date of when to display the information. Defaults to January 1, 2019 if omitted (meaning there is no start date).
  • to end date of when the information should be hidden again. Defaults to January 1, 2030 if omitted (meaning there pretty much is no end date).
  • data is the data that will be presented between the specified dates.
    • data= can be omitted, in which case the "first unnamed parameter" of the call will be used instead.

Example

{{DisplayTemporarily|to=2023-10-16|data=Included with {{Store feature|Xbox Game Pass}}.}}

This will show a normal notice up until October 16, 2023 at which point the note will disappear from view the next time the article is purged.
