In use
I replaced the in use tag because I am actively working on a rewrite. See User:Cavalier One/Parchment for progress. Please do not remove it again. thank you. - Cavalier One 14:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The inuse tag is only supposed to be used for two hours, at most, according to the main Wikipedia help pages . The tag had been up for three days when I removed it.  I'll leave it though; I only wanted to fix one link and one sentence so it doesn't matter too much to me. PinkRibbons 15:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Really? Two hours?  Wow.  I didn't know that.  I confess though, that I don't edit the main Wikipedia much, but wikis like this one.  Several allow the inuse tag to remain for days while large scale rewrites take place.  When rewriting, I usually do it away from the article page to give me more freedom.  Sorry if I seemed a little prickly over it. - Cavalier One 20:34, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you're supposed to put it up as you're adding the information back into the main article, but actually work on and include edits (done over a period days, etc.) back into your own page that you're working on it in. I should probably add that to the template usage section... -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 20:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That's right, inuse tags are only for direct work on the article. The main reason they were created was to prevent edit conflicts, so putting up an inuse tag and leaving it there for a day or so would deter others from editing same article and would be considered "hogging" the workspace. If you're working on a rewrite under your namespace, the inuse tag would be superfluous; you could use it though when replacing the main article with your rewrite, but frankly, with the negligible traffic flow here, I doubt you'd even need to do that anyway.

 * I actually needed it while adding my rewrite of Rubeus Hagrid back onto the real page. Its a good idea to use it during that phase. And hopefully people will abide by it. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 21:06, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hopefully I can get rid of it soon anyway - I plan to finish off the rewrite tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. I'll bear the template usage in mind for my next work :) - Cavalier One 21:11, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
