 | There is a consensus that in mainspace, interwiki links to Wikinews should only be made as per the external links guideline. This generally rules out the use of this template in the middle of articles. The relevant discussion can be found at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 152#Restrict Wikinews links in articles. |
| This template is used on approximately 3,500 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
