how to mark a page as work in progress

[uwestoehr]

The MediaWiki has a template to mark a page as work in progress:

{{Page in progress}}

, however, this is not supported by FC's Wiki. So how is this done in FC?
(I wanted to mark the page TechDraw_Preferences)

Like any other page that doesn't exist, just click on the red link, and create the template. Once you save the template, it will be available wherever you have inserted it.

However, I suggest you don't create too many new templates; it's best to keep the number of templates small, and avoid single-purpose templates.

For example, in the wiki there is already the {{UnfinishedDocu}} template. It was thought for GuiCommand pages so the text that it displays is strange for general use. But it still works in my opinion to warn about the status of the page. The good thing about this template is that it also categorizes the page in an "unfinished category" so you can find it again afterwards to finish the job.

Otherwise, you don't need a template at all, you can just write at the top of the page something like "This page is a work in progress, do not translate yet".

OK I created it: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Templat ... n_progress
and documented the usage here: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/WikiPag ... rary_Flags

I am seeing pages where the 'In progress' template is inserted and then nothing much happens to the page for more than two month. IMO this is not the intended use.

It depends. if you think it is not in progress, please contact the author who once set this tag. If he doesn't reply you can replace it with a tag like "help needed" to improve the page.
