Current events portal

This category contains articles about things that are still happening. This means, in general, that there is a statement or section in the article mentioning a recent date. If your aim is to call attention to a particular article or topic, see Wikipedia:How the Current events page works.

To add an article to this category, tag it with {{current}} or {{current-section}}. Note that these templates were created to warn editors that the article in question is being editing today by many editors, and not particularly to note recent news.
Subject-specific templates for current events include:

For current sporting events, use {{current sport}}
For current video gaming events, use {{current game}}
For articles about recently deceased people, use {{recent death}}
For articles about recently convicted people, use {{recently convicted}}
For ongoing lawsuits, use {{ongoing lawsuit}}, criminal prosecutions should use {{current court case}}
For bankruptcies, buyouts, and other corporate restructurings, use {{Current change in status}}. This template may also be used for non-corporate restructurings if a more appropriate template is not available.

For events in the slightly more distant future, use:

For films planned for future release, use {{Future film}}
For video games planned for future release, use {{Future game}}
For spaceflights planned in the future, use {{Future spaceflight}}
