See the '''[[:Category:Inuse|Inuse Category page]]''' for instructions on how to add the template to a page. By adding the Inuse template authors will help avoid edit wars. The Inuse template should only be left on a page for a 24-72 hour time period. Authors should avoid editing pages when another author has added the Inuse template to the page.
