	The '''~~Inuse~~''' template ~~message is~~ placed at the top of ~~a page~~ you are actively editing for a short period of time~~.

The '''in use''' template should be placed at the top of an article you are actively editing for a short period of time (a few hours at most). It should be removed when the article is no longer actively being edited. Otherwise, it unnecessarily discourage others from contributing to the article.

	~~If you wish~~ to ~~indicate~~ that ~~an article is being rebuilt over a longer period of time consider the <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:Template:underconstruction\|underconstruction]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> template. That template encourages others~~ to edit ~~the article while indicating that it is a work in progress~~.		Visitors should avoid making changes to pages that are in use, to avoid edit conflicts.

	~~To use, just add <code><nowiki>{{inuse}}</nowiki></code>~~ at the top of the article ~~you want~~ to ~~work on~~. ~~If you want~~ to ~~reserve it~~ for ~~a specific length~~ of ~~time and optionally, a message,~~ use ~~<code><nowiki>{{inuse\|time~~ (~~message~~)~~}}</nowiki></code>~~.		The template should be placed at the top of the page (before the article content). This ensures that the sign is immediately visible to visitors. An optional message can be added to inform visitors about specific sections being changed and the estimated time until the article is available again. Specifying periods of several days or longer for this template goes against the spirit of simply avoiding edit conflicts; please only use it for sessions where you are actively editing the article (e.g., major rewrite or overhaul).

	~~'''Please remember~~ to ~~remove~~ the ~~Inuse note''' as soon as you're finished editing~~.		If you wish to indicate that an article is being rebuilt over a longer period of time consider the {{tlx\|underconstruction}} template.
