{{For|a talk-page template to indicate that a Wikipedia page has been mentioned by a media organisation|Template:Press}}

"'''In the news'''" mentions and links to ''entries of timely interest'' &ndash; ''[[encyclopedia]] articles'' that have been ''updated'' to reflect an important [[Portal:Current events|current event]] &ndash; rather than conventional ''news items''.  To prevent [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] on the [[Main Page]], it is a [[Wikipedia:List of indefinitely protected pages|permanently protected template]].  See [[Wikipedia:In the news]] for more details.  

See an error? Please note it on [[Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors]] for administrator assistance.

The template accepts one parameter: adding <code>|nocurrenteventslink=1</code> removes the link to [[Portal:Current events]]. This is used on the current events page to hide the link there.

Admins: After updating please [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Main Page|action=purge}} purge the cache of the Main Page] so that the updated version appears.

In terms of Main Page balance, right now we're configured for [[widescreen]] monitors, which it appears most editors use. Non-widescreen users, please do not change the balance even if it looks off on your monitor.

[{{fullurl:Template:In_the_news|action=purge}} Click here to purge the template's cache manually, if it does not appear to be updating on the Main Page after you edit it.]
