Description
This template allows you to "claim" pages you want to edit for up to 24 hours.
Syntax
{{subst:claim|Username}}
{{subst:claim|Username|Hours}}
You must substitute this template. Transcluding it normally will not work.
Usage
The claim warning is used to prevent edit conflicts. It places a box explaining that a user (should be yourself) is wanting to edit a page, and is wanting to be the only editor until a specified time. The template hides itself after this time.
It is best to use this template at the very start of a page.
Keep in mind the importance of substituting the template - it does not work otherwise. This also leaves all the template code directly in the article. Comments surround this code to aid in deletion.
The purpose of limiting the time is that the claim template is supposed to be used directly before the user starts typing out the actual edit. With this in mind, it is not expected for the user to take more than a day to finish the edit. The maximum time is 24 hours. Be considerate to your fellow editors and keep the claim time at a minumum. Do not re-claim a page multiple times either.
Note that although you can specify any user, it should definitely be yourself, unless you are (for some reason) placing the template on someone else's behalf.
