{{In creation}} is used on pages that have been created and are being added to by a series of incremental improvements. Its intended use is for editors who have made an article and will be adding content within a matter of minutes or hours. If readers see this on an article it shows that the creation was premature. Editors should consider using a sandbox instead.

Articles which have already been created by other editors, already existing in

article space, can use the {{In creation}} template unless they determine the {{under construction

}} template to be more appropriate.

Usage

The basic syntax for using this template is:
{{In creation|time=~~~~~}}
This renders a notice similar to the following example:

This page is currently being created

It is a new Wikipedia article developing through collaboration and successive edits.
To help avoid edit conflicts and other confusion, the creator asks that for a short time this page not be edited unnecessarily, or nominated for deletion during this early stage of development.

Please remove this notice if the page has not been edited for several hours.

The following optional parameters may be use, as shown:

{{In creation|time=~~~~~
 | page     = [page]
 | new      = [Wikipedia article]
 | tp       = [talk page]
 | article  = [article]
 | creator  = [the creator]
 | eta      = [a short time]
 | duration = [several hours]
 | agf      = ABF
 | xfd      = MFD
}}

Note |agf=ABF and |xfd=MFD are internal parameters that can change the WP:MFD
.

Compare the following example:

This [page] is

nominated for deletion during this early stage

of development.

Results summary

biography of a living person, or any other fundamental policy, it may be blanked or deleted despite the presence of the tag. The tag is a courtesy to other editors, not an excuse for bad editing.

If you wish to create a new article over a longer period of time consider using the {{Under construction}} template. That template encourages others to edit the article while still indicating that it is a work in progress
