Template:Snowed in
 | This user is snowed in at home and may respond and converse too quickly for others to respond. |
Template documentation | This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason. |
Usage
Use on user pages or user talk pages when Wikipedians are going to be endlessly on Wikipedia and physically incapable of taking a Wikibreak due to being snowed in. When using simply {{snowed in}}, the template produces the message above
Parameters
There are two unnamed parameters. The first which replaces "this user" with the name placed.
IE {{snowed in|He}} produces

The second unnamed parameter replaces "at home" with whatever is put. Unfortunately, at the time being it requires for there to be something in the first parameter (DO NOT use {{snowed in||foo}}).
