Placed at the top of an administration page you are actively editing for a short period of time
This BattleTechWiki page is not yet active, as it concerns an administrative page that is a draft or a draft proposal and is located here. Editors are requested to be bold and assist with the drafting process if possible. Likewise, editors can comment on the pros and cons of the basic idea and on how the draft can be improved, rather than on whether it is a good idea to adopt the draft in its current form. Once this notice is removed (and the page moved out of the to its correct spot), discussion can move more clearly on to the issue of whether an actual proposal should be adopted, with or without amendments.
Placed on pages that are being drafted and to assist with filtering them out of the wanted page list.
This idea is in the brainstorming stage. Feel free to add new ideas; improve, clarify and classify the ideas already here; and discuss the merits of these ideas on the talk page.
