Evolving news

I know we have a 'breaking news' banner we attach to breaking articles -- but I could swear we have another banner that says (roughly) lots of stuff is happening on this issue, check back later for more. Am I imagining that? Can't seem to find that banner. It seem proper for current Trump/Iran stuff.--Bddpaux (talk) 16:55, 10 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the culture shifted to a situation in which once published, content is essentially 'frozen in time' and new developments are covered by a new article. The verbiage in Template:Working on updates hints at that; "An updated version of this article is being worked on. This version may be replaced with the updated one at a later point."

I think we shifted from notifying readers on the old article to linking to the old article from the new one via the Related news section.Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Reviewer) 17:10, 10 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bddpaux

It is not exactly what you wanted, the {{StoryUpdate}} and {{Update}} templates can only be added after the 'more' stuff already happened and was published.
I think there is exactly what you wanted in {{Current}} but I cannot understand how to use it.
