<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Purpose">Purpose</h2></div> <p>The purpose of the "FYI" tag is to give a visual hint to readers of talk page items, making it easier to distinguish informational posts (notices, updates, etc.) from those that raise issues that need to be resolved. As with the other templates in this series, it is hoped that the existence of such tags will help focus editorial attention and encourage the resolution of items on a talk page. It is most commonly used on user and project talk pages, since few posts (including largely informational ones) on article talk pages generate zero actual or potential action items or potential discussions. </p><p>This template is to show an item on a talk page is strictly informational in nature, an "<a href="/wiki/FYI" title="FYI">FYI</a>", and that there is no dispute or issue raised by the post. That is, readers may be interested in it, but it is non-urgent and does not <em>require</em> action. </p><p>The "FYI" tag is <b>not</b> final and does not close a conversation. If the post in question raises issues or questions for someone, please remove the tag. Thus, the tag can also, in a roundabout way, help clarify situations that might otherwise be ignored because some users thought the post was trivial, when it was not. </p><p>This tag can be also used in admin processes to note that an item reported to a notice board is not an action item, and can further be of help on user talk pages to sort messages for archival (especially WikiProject newsletters and other impersonal notices) from those to be retained for continued discussion or followup action. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Usage">Usage</h2></div> <p>Place the following under the topic heading on a talk page:<br /> <code>{{FYI}}</code> </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1235781174"><div role="note" class="hmbox-outer FYI"><div class="hmbox-inner"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/20px-Information_icon4.svg.png" decoding="async" width="20" height="20" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/30px-Information_icon4.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/40px-Information_icon4.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="620" data-file-height="620" /></span></span> <a href="/wiki/FYI" title="FYI">FYI</a></div></div> <p><strong>Recommended:</strong> To make an additional comment explaining what the notice is about or to whom it may be of interest:<br /> <code>{{FYI|1=Project is now using updated banner code.}}</code> </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1235781174"><div role="note" class="hmbox-outer FYI"><div class="hmbox-inner"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/20px-Information_icon4.svg.png" decoding="async" width="20" height="20" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/30px-Information_icon4.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/40px-Information_icon4.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="620" data-file-height="620" /></span></span> <a href="/wiki/FYI" title="FYI">FYI</a></div> – <span style="font-size: 85%">Project is now using updated banner code. –<a href="/wiki/User:Example" title="User:Example">Example</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Example" title="User talk:Example">talk</a>) 12:34, 01 January 2011 (UTC)</span></div> <p>This parameter must be given as <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|1=</code> or <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|reason=</code> if any of its content contains the <code>=</code> character. </p><p>Do <em>not</em> include your signature (<code>~~~~</code>) when stating obvious facts, such as that a proposal was rescinded later in the thread, etc., or when it is obvious from the content or context who placed the template.
