A month or two ago, someone wrote to OTRS asking if we had any way of displaying a list of people who'd just been listed as "dead" by Wikipedia. It strikes me that this is quite an interesting idea - on the one hand, there's some interest from reusers about a ticker of "recent obituaries", and on the other hand, it's useful for *us* so we can keep an eye on subtle vandalism and ensure we have cast-iron confirmation of any reported death... it being, of course, quite embarrasing to report someone's dead when they aren't.
For confirmed recent deaths: {{Recent death}} is routinely put on confirmed recent deaths. No time expiry, but the doc notes "The template should be removed once editing has been resumed to a normal level."
Would I be right in guessing that vandalism usually just adds claims of a death and doesn't add the template or remove [[Category:Living people]]?
