Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation).

This template adds a to do list to a talk page. If you place this template, for example, on Talk:Article name, then type in the to do items on a Talk:Article name/to do page, then this template will automatically display them.

Note: Please do not spam this template speculatively to talk pages, as it should only be added when editors are actually going to use it. Unused templates may be removed by any editor without warning.

Usage

{{To do}} – the normal, default to do list
{{To do|collapsed=yes}} – collapses the list
{{To do|for=[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Foo|WikiProject Foo]]}} – allows alternate project name
{{To do|inner=Blah Blah Blah}} – uses the contents of 'inner' as the to do list
{{To do|list=./TODO}} – uses the subpage ./TODO as the to do list, instead of subpage ./to do
{{To do|maxheight=h}} – sets the maximum height h (number with suffix px, em or %; e.g. 200px) of the to do list before vertical scroll bars appear. Keep in mind that this doesn't work for all browsers (they must support the max-height and overflow CSS attributes working together). If no height is given, the to do list's height will depend on its contents.
{{To do|N}} – where N is a number from 1 to 9, defining its priority. (1 is the highest)
{{To do|nocats=yes}} – doesn't include page in Category:Wikipedia pages with to-do lists
{{To do|nopreload=yes}} – clicking the edit link takes you to a blank page instead of a preloaded one
{{To do|small=yes}} – formats the to do list as the 'small' version
{{To do|target=Foo}} – uses the to do list of page Foo instead
- Use the |target parameter for accessing another article's to do list, e.g., from a WikiProject page (can be seen in action at WP:TBT)
