Template:Future

Usage

This template can be used to mark articles with contents refering to future railML^® versions. This is necessary because the claim of this wiki is to represent the current shema. Generally speaking, information on future versions should be removed, but especially just prior to a new release it can be too puristic to avoid any prospects.

To mark information on future versions include {{Template:Future}} into the source code. When the new version is published, please remember to check Category:Future and remove obsolete instances of this template.

Articles, where this template is included, are listed in Category:Future.

For other templates see Category:Template.

Alternatively, employ template:unlock to prepare hidden content that becomes visible with the coming version change.
