Template:Busy/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

Use on user pages or user talk pages when people shouldn't expect them to be answered quickly. When using simply {{busy}}, the template produces the message above

Parameters

[edit]

There are two unnamed parameters. The first which replaces "this user" with the name placed.
IE {{busy|Johnny Doe}} produces

If "I" is used in the first parameter, the template will say "I am".
IE {{busy|I}} produces

The second unnamed parameter replaces "in real life" with whatever is used.
