Usage

The syntax for this template is simple: {{semi-retired}} if you want it to display the above, or {{semi-retired|date=date (any format is acceptable)}} if you want it to display a date along with the above. You can also provide an explanation or note {{semi-retired|explanation (be mindful of using certain restricted characters)}} if you like.

Semi-retiring implies that you will be editing occasionally. If there is a chance that you might eventually return to regular editing, then it is preferable to announce a {{Wikibreak}}.

Editors should promptly remove this template from their user pages if they resume editing for any reason. If not editing anymore, use {{retired}} in preference.

This template should be placed on a user page only by the concerned user, or at their request.
