 | This template uses Lua:

This template displays the tag above and adds articles to Category:Current elections or one of its dated subcategories.
Guidelines
- Check main (article) namespace links
Usage
The template takes three parameters:
- Parameter 1 overrides the word "article"
- Parameter 2 overrides the words "a current election"
- Parameter 3 overrides the word "election"
- Named parameter "date" categorizes into a monthly sub category for ease of maintenance. This will be added by a bot if omitted.
