Template:Active politician/sandbox
 | This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism. |
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Active politician (diff). |
 | This template is used on approximately 14,000 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. |
{{Active politician}} is intended for use on article talk pages only, and adds pages to Category:Active politicians.
This template has been mostly deprecated in favour of {{WikiProject Biography}}. Since active politicians are by definition living, please use {{WikiProject Biography|living=yes|activepol=yes}} on the article's talk page.
If {{WikiProject Biography}} is nested within {{WikiProject banner shell}}, please use {{WikiProject banner shell|activepol=yes}} to display this template outside of the banner shell.
In extremely rare cases where {{WikiProject Biography}} and {{WikiProject banner shell}} are not used and might not be relevant, {{Active politician}} may be placed on a talk page directly.
