Template:Recent death
 | This article is about a person who died a short time ago. The information of the person's death and surrounding events may be unreliable. There is a good chance that some of the information is unreliable or wrong. (June 2024) |
This template warns our readers that the information presented in the article may not be final due to missing/unpublished/uncertain information about a recently deceased person, and that readers should therefore be cautious about the content presented. This is generally true for all of our articles, but in cases of extraordinary public attention that risk is especially high. As such, it should only be used in cases where many editors (perhaps dozens or more) are editing the article on the same day, and it should be removed as soon as the editing goes down to a normal level again. Do not use it merely to tag the article of a recently deceased person, as that would defeat the template's purpose.
This template will add the article to Category:Recent deaths.
