This documentation is transcluded from Template:Proposed/doc. (edit | history)

{{Proposed|WN:SHORTCUT}}

If no shortcut is provided, the template will render without it.

• 1 (optional) – Specifies a shortcut for the page, which will be displayed in the message.

Example

To mark a proposal with a shortcut:

{{Proposed|WN:EXAMPLE}}

The following is a proposed Wikinews policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption. Thus, references or links to this page should not describe it as "policy".
