Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The sole purpose of this template is to provide a way to announce the time of the next AfC backlog drive, or the lack thereof. To this end, the template has one parameter that can be set to each of the three different states.

Usage

The only place this template should be used is on the AfC WikiProject's Backlog elimination drives page.

Parameters

This template takes one optional unnamed parameter. The three possible values of that parameter are:

none - No drive scheduled. The default state.
start - Countdown to start. Shows a countdown to the start of the next drive. The template should be left in this state until shortly after the drive actually starts.
end - Countdown to end. Shows a countdown to the end of the upcoming or current drive. The template should be changed to this state one day before the start of the upcoming or current drive.
