Template:Recent death
 | This article is currently being heavily edited as its subject has recently died. Information about their death may change rapidly. (June 2026) |
This template is used to alert editors and readers of rapidly changing edits, it is not used to advertise or confirm the death itself. This template is not to be used on newly created articles. This template warns readers that the information presented in an article may not be the most up-to-date or accurate due to unconfirmed or inaccurately reported information about a recently deceased person. Readers should therefore be cautious. This is generally true for all of our articles, but in cases of extraordinary public attention the risk of misinformation is elevated.
As such, this template should be used only in cases where many editors (perhaps dozens or more) are editing the article on the same day. It should be removed as soon as this editing subsides. Do not use it merely to tag the article of a recently deceased person, as that is not the template's purpose.
This template will add the article to Category:Recent deaths.
