Using this
To use this, place the following at the top of a page.

About the parameters

 * unnamed parameter - The date and time that the template was added to the article. Use 5 tildes to automatically insert a timestamp.

Details
The purpose of this template is to indicate when one or more contributors is undertaking a large revision of an article that cannot be completed in one sitting. Thus, the template indicates that the broken or incomplete appearance of a page will be fixed soon. Ideally, the person who places this template on a page should remove it within a week or less, otherwise it gives the appearance of a single editor "owning" an article and discourages other visitors from improving it.

The template includes the timestamp of when it was first placed in the article. This helps to show how long the article has been under revision. If the timestamp is more than a week old, the template should probably be removed.
