Since the page is protected, I thought I would point out to someone that is capable of editing the page that "promptly" is spelled incorrectly as "promtly". Chicken Wing ( talk) 22:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Per the comments at
WT:TC#Standardisation of template styling, I've made some tweaks to this template in the new
sandbox for better consistency with other article message boxes. Just needs synced.

Alright, just so no one freaks out over my edits. I've changed the template to be more grammatically-precise with relation to the use of the colon (:). Furthermore, as having an article name sometimes wraps it to two lines, I've made the "Information may change rapidly as the event progresses" text wrap go to a second line on its own, in small font, should the article text be included. Hope no one minds. Mnmazur ( talk) 23:02, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

The
section above originally removed the small text and line breaks. I'd rather they weren't re-added without discussion.

talk) 11:57, 28 May 2009 (UTC){{current related|person|Petraeus sex scandal}} [1] lead the template to read: "This person may be affected by the following current event: Petraeus sex scandal. Information in this person may change rapidly as the event progresses." The phrase "Information in this person" seems odd and I changed the template so that it comes out as "information about this person topic." Still reads a little odd, but technically is correct. In general, trouble seems to come with allowing any text (e.g., "person") in the second parameter. Hopefully, someone has a better fix. -- Uzma Gamal ( talk) 14:07, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
I think it is possible that the word "may" could potentially confuse some non-native English speakers that scan the text fast, as may is also a month.
Wouldn't it be better if we used "might" or "could" instead? 193.92.123.5 ( talk) 07:59, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
