Template talk:New content: Difference between revisions

Redundancy?[edit]

I can't help but think that using this template at the moment is a bit redundant and pointless. As it stands, everything about Destiny is new and has new content that will inevitably come with the beta and the game's release. If the template was to be used to its fullest extent, nearly every article on the site will have the template, making the template rather useless. Any thoughts?--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 16:27, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Makes sense; it can be removed from most pages. But it should still be used for things that we know even less than normal about, such as Strike and Comet. --Porplemontage (talk) 19:52, 11 November 2013 (EST)

Right, sounds good (give or take 9 days).--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 01:18, 21 November 2013 (EST)

Rewording Proposal[edit]

I use this template a lot for recently released content but the wording states that it's from content coming soon. It also mentions edits being reverted if not cited but sometimes that's not convenient for adding information to new pages that are a work in progress as well. How about maybe rewording it to something like this.

"I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain."
This article has content that is newly released or coming soon from Title and may not be complete, confirmed, or correct. Please update it as soon as any relevant and accurate material is available. Editors must cite sources for all contributions to this article if possible. Edits that do not follow this standard may be reverted without notice. For more information, see the Citation policy.

Then again my issue may lie in needing something that's a mix between this and Template:Under construction.
