Add {{inactive|date|why the user is inactive|user=|date while user planned to be back|place the user goes|comments=additional notes}} to an inactive user's user page and/or talk page. All parameters are optional.
Note that like all talk page edits, adding this template will trigger a notification for that user. In addition, some users who have not edited for several months may still receive emails and monitor the wiki from time to time, or return after a period of decreased activity. It's generally not necessary to add this template on the talk page of every inactive user, especially those who are unlikely to be contacted.
The first parameter is the date of the user's last revision. Defaults to a while.
The second parameter says why the user is inactive.
The user= parameter is the user's name. Defaults to {{ROOTPAGENAME}}.
The third parameter is planned date while the user is back.
The fourth parameter is where the user travels (also gives a link to the Wikipedia article of the place where the user travels).
|comments= parameter adds also additional notes while the user is away.
This template adds pages to Category:Inactive users.
