This is a template for nominating new candidates for the ''In the News'' section at ]. The template has two main parameters, article and blurb. If they are missing it states no article specified and no blurb specified. The article automatically links to the page. Empty parameters are optional. The full syntax includes a level four heading - 'Nomination header' should be changed to include the name of the article being nominated and if the nomination is for the recent deaths (RD) or ongoing sections.

All the parameters are optional.


===Parameters===
The template has two main parameters, article and blurb, and if they are missing it states no article specified, and no blurb specified. The article automatically gets a link created to the article page.<br />
'''{{tlx|ITN candidate|<nowiki>article=Example|blurb=Reason why ] is in the news</nowiki>}}''' *article: the main article in the news.
⚫ *article2: a second related article in the news that can be nominated in the same blurb. Rarely used.
*image: a relevant free-use, not ], image suitable for the main page.
*caption: caption for image
*blurb: a brief description of why the article is in the news. Does not show with recent deaths/ongoing, use altblurb instead.
*recent deaths: to propose items for recent deaths.
*ongoing: to propose/remove items for ongoing.
⚫ *altblurb(#): possible alternative wording of the blurb. Can also be filled with the alternatively proposed blurb, when unsure whether the item should be posted under recent deaths/ongoing, or as a full blurb.
⚫ *sources: links to relevant news sources showing why the nominated article is in the news.
⚫ *updated: changes the 'Article' text to 'Updated article', or 'Article to update' respectively.
⚫ *updated2: per above, if the article2 parameter is used.
⚫ *nominator: automatically filled in with the username of the person nominating the candidate article and story.
⚫ *updaters: which should be filled in when the article to be posted is updated, with the username(s) of the editors who have significantly updated the article. If there is more than one they should be separated by commas.
⚫ **If both nominator and updater are the same person, both fields must still be filled in. The template will return one line with the user credited as both nominator and updater.
⚫ *ITNR: if yes, a comment is added about the item being a ].
⚫ *nom cmt: the nominator's reasoning for nominating the item and can be used to note potential problems with the nomination or article.
⚫ *sign: the nominator's signature (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).


===Other parameters=== ===Typical syntax===
⚫ {{ITN candidate/syntax}}
*recent deaths and ongoing, which when set to "yes" in the absence of the blurb parameter indicate that the nominator is only seeking a ''']:''' or '''Ongoing:''' mention being posted instead of a blurb
⚫ *altblurb(#), possible alternative wording of the blurb. Can also be filled with the alternatively proposed blurb, when unsure whether the item should be posted under Recent deaths/Ongoing, or as a full blurb. Specifying this is entirely optional, and nominations without altblurb are procedurally more straightforward.
⚫ *article2, which allows for two related articles in the news to be nominated in the same blurb. Use rarely.
⚫ *sources, which are links to relevant news sources showing why the nominated article is in the news
⚫ *updated, which can be yes or no, and changes the 'Article' text to 'Updated article', or 'Article to update' respectively.
⚫ *updated2, per above but only if the article2 parameter is used.
⚫ *nominator, which should be filled in with the username of the person nominating the candidate article and story.
⚫ *updater, which should be filled in if and/or when the article to be posted is updated, with the username of the person who has contributed the most to updates.
*updater2; updater3, same as updater but allowing for the possibility that the article was jointly updated
⚫ **If both nominator and updater are the same person, both fields must still be filled in, although the template will return one line with the user credited as both nominator and updater.
⚫ *ITNR, which can be yes or no, if yes a comment is added about the item being a recurring item and so that its importance has already been considered.
*note, which can be used by anyone to note potential problems with the nomination or article.
*nom cmt, which is the nominator's reasoning for nominating the item.
⚫ *sign, which is the nominator's signature (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).

If they are missing it states no article specified and no blurb specified. The article automatically links to the page. Empty parameters are optional. The full syntax includes a level four heading - 'Nomination header' should be changed to include the name of the article being nominated and if the nomination is for the recent deaths (RD) or ongoing sections.

Example usage: {{ITN candidate|article=Example|blurb=Reason why ] is in the news}}

Parameters

  • updated: changes the 'Article' text to 'Updated article', or 'Article to update' respectively.
  • updated2: per above, if the article2 parameter is used.
  • nominator: automatically filled in with the username of the person nominating the candidate article and story.
  • updaters: which should be filled in when the article to be posted is updated, with the username(s) of the editors who have significantly updated the article. If there is more than one they should be separated by commas.

  • ITNR: if yes, a comment is added about the item being a recurring item.

Typical syntax

| ongoing       = no <!-- (add/rem/no); instead of specifying a blurb the nomination can be for the "Ongoing" line -->
| ITNR          = no <!-- 'No' by default. Only put in 'yes' if the event is listed at WP:ITNR -->

Reduced syntax for Recent Deaths

Recent Death nominations do not require all the elements of the full syntax, and thus this smaller subset can be used instead. (Additional candidate template fields can be added as necessary) 

==== RD: Nomination header ====
{{ITN candidate
| article       = <!-- Do not wikilink -->
| recent deaths = yes
| sources       = <!-- Include one or more references from verifiable, reliable sources. -->
| updated       = <!-- (yes/no); Leave blank if you aren't sure -->
| nominator     = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- Do NOT change this -->
| updaters      = <!-- Editor(s) who significantly updated the article, separated by commas -->
| nom cmt       = <!-- Additional comments go here --> 
| sign          = ~~~~ <!-- Do NOT change this -->
