Documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

Description

This template allows you to "claim" pages you want to edit for up to 72 hours (3 days).

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. The idea is for people to see it then wait for your submission before they start editing.

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. The maximum time is 72 hours, but keep the time at a minumum.

Parameters

Put a box warning users that you are editing the page.

Template parameters
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Username	`1`	Your username. Your user page and user talk page will both be linked in the template. Example Masada	Line	required
Hours claimed	`2`	The length of the claim in hours. Can be any number 1-72. Default 1 hour Example 5	Number	optional

Sample

The following input:

{{subst:claim|ZASNK}}

Produces:

Planned to be edited by User:ZASNK until 2024-06-12 at 07:46 UTC. Editing now could cause an edit conflict. If you still wish to edit, it's best to speak with them first. Refresh

Note: this example is rigged to never disappear, despite it being out of date.
