![]() | This template is used in Template:ACEWatchlistNotice, which is used by MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages when Arbitration Committee elections are taking place. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid large-scale disruption, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. Please discuss any changes at the talk page before implementing them. |
![]() | This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected. |
This module implements the {{interval}} template. Please see the template page for documentation.
