Template:When
[when?]
Purpose
Use this template to mark vague time periods. These are usually marked by words such as "eventually" or "a certain amount of time." Editors will often write this when they are unsure at exactly which point an event occurs. Figuring that out may require some research into the game. (See example below.)
Articles tagged with this template are added to Category:Statements Needing Clarification. Specific categories also exist for each game (see below).
Usage
To use this template, insert the following immediately after the vague time period, after any punctuation:
{{When|Game (Optional) }}
- Game — The game that the statement pertains to. Can be the game's full title, subtitle, or abbreviation. See here for a list of possible values. This adds the article to a more specific category (e.g. Category:Hyrule Warriors Statements Needing Clarification) in addition to the general category, for the benefit of editors. Entering "nocat" suppresses the category altogether.
If the article covers multiple games, use additional parameters, e.g. ({{When|OOT|MM|TWW|TP}}). The template accepts up to six game parameters.
Example

The above statement should specify exactly when Masked Beedle appears – 10 P.M and midnight on weekdays and 10 A.M. to noon on weekends according to the Nintendo DS system's clock. This fact can be researched online and verified by testing it for oneself in the game.
