### Alerts
|
||||
|
||||
Network alerts should be placed in `_alerts/YYYY-MM-DD-SHORTITLE.html` and adhere to this format:
|
||||
1. [Who to contact](#who-to-contact)
|
||||
2. [Basic alert](#basic-alert) (emergency fast instructions)
|
||||
3. [Detailed alert](#detailed-alert)
|
||||
4. [Clearing an alert](#clearing-an-alert)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
#### Who to Contact
|
||||
|
||||
The following people can publish alerts on Bitcoin.org. Their email
|
||||
addresses are on the linked GitHub profiles.
|
||||
|
||||
- Saïvann Carignan, [@saivann](https://github.com/saivann), saivann on Freenode
|
||||
- Dave Harding, [@harding](https://github.com/harding), harding on Freenode
|
||||
- Wladimir van der Laan, [@laanwj](https://github.com/laanwj), wumpus on Freenode
|
||||
- Theymos, [@theymos](https://github.com/theymos), theymos on Freenode
|
||||
|
||||
Several of the above are only occasionally on Freenode. Alert
|
||||
coordination is usually conducted in #bitcoin-dev on Freenode.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Basic Alert
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open your editor on a file named `_alerts/YYYY-MM-DD-short-title.md`
|
||||
(the alert will appear as <https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/YYYY-MM-DD-short-title>).
|
||||
|
||||
2. Paste the following text into the top of the file:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
---
|
||||
## Title displayed on alert page
|
||||
title: "11/12 March 2013 Chain Fork"
|
||||
## Short URL for use in P2P network alerts: https://bitcoin.org/<shorturl>
|
||||
shorturl: "chainfork"
|
||||
## Active alerts will display the banner (below) on all bitcoin.org content pages
|
||||
active: true
|
||||
## Banner displayed if 'active: true'. Can use HTML formatting
|
||||
banner: "<b>Chain fork</b> - Please stop mining on bitcoin version 0.8.0. Click here for more information."

|

{% comment %}
|
||||
First paragraph should indicate whose bitcoins are safe, to avoid
|
||||
starting a panic.
|
||||
{% comment %}
|
||||
|
||||
Your bitcoins are safe if you received them in transactions
|
||||
confirmed before 2015-07-06 00:00 UTC.
|
||||
|
||||
{% comment %}
|
||||
Second paragraph should summarize the problem, and subsequent
|
||||
text should indicate what people should do immediately.
|
||||
Consider: users (by wallet type), merchants, and miners.
|
||||
{% comment %}
|
||||
|
||||
However, there has been a problem with a planned upgrade. For
|
||||
bitcoins received later than the time above, confirmation scores are
|
||||
significantly less reliable then they usually are for users of
|
||||
certain software:
|
||||
|
||||
- Lightweight (SPV) wallet users should wait an additional 30
|
||||
confirmations more than you would normally wait. Electrum users,
|
||||
please see this note.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Edit the file. It is written in [Markdown format][].
|
||||
|
||||
- Commit it.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Note:** the commit must be signed by one of the people in the
|
||||
[Who to Contact](#who-to-contact) section for site
|
||||
auto-building to work.
|
||||
|
||||
- Push the commit to the master branch. Rebuilding the site occurs
|
||||
automatically and takes 7 to 15 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Note:** do not push additional commits until the alert is
|
||||
displayed on the live site. The site build aborts and starts over
|
||||
when new commits are found.
|
||||
|
||||
- Give the `shorturl` URL (`bitcoin.org/<shorturl>`) to the P2P alert message
|
||||
key holders to use in any alert messages they send.
|
||||
|
||||
- Proceed to the next section to improve the alert.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Detailed Alert
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to providing more information about how users should respond
|
||||
to the situation, you can enhance the alert in several ways described
|
||||
below.
|
||||
|
||||
The following fields may be defined in the the alert YAML header:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
## (Required; HTML text) Title displayed on alert page
|
||||
title: "11/12 March 2013 Chain Fork"
|
||||
alias: "chainfork"
|
||||
## (Optional; display ASCII only) Short URL for use in P2P network alerts: https://bitcoin.org/<shorturl>
|
||||
shorturl: "chainfork"
|
||||
## (Optional; default=false) Active alerts will display the banner (below) on all bitcoin.org content pages
|
||||
active: true
|
||||
## (Optional; HTML text) Banner displayed if 'active: true'. Can use HTML formatting
|
||||
banner: "<b>Chain fork</b> - Please stop mining on bitcoin version 0.8.0. Click here for more information."
|
||||
## (Optional; default=alert) CSS class to set banner color
|
||||
## alert = red | warning = orange | success = green | info = blue
|
||||
bannerclass: alert
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A chain fork is happening. Please stop mining on bitcoin version 0.8.0. Your bitcoins are safe but it is recommended that you postpone your Bitcoin transactions for the next hours.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
More information will follow.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
The time of the last update should be placed on the page somewhere. UTC
|
||||
should be used for all dates, and RFC 2822 format ( date -uR ) is
|
||||
recommended for long dates. For example, place the date in the footer of
|
||||
the document:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<div style="text-align:right">
|
||||
<i>This notice last updated: Thu, 16 May 2013 01:37:00 UTC</i>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
* `SHORTTITLE` is used to construct the URL.
|
||||
* `title: ...` will be used as the title in the layout.
|
||||
* `alias: ...` (optional) a short alias for Bitcoin Core alerts. Ex. "dos" will produce /dos.html
|
||||
* `active: ...` (true or false) define if the alert should appear as ongoing in the network status page.
|
||||
* `banner: ...` (optional) a short text that will be displayed in an alert banner and link to the alert page.
|
||||
* `bannerclass: ...` (optional) a CSS class that sets the color of the banner. Possible values: alert (default red), warning (orange), success (green), info (blue).
|
||||
* `last updated: ...` should be kept up to date and be in RFC 2822 format ( date -uR ).
|
||||
|
||||
You may also want to create a page on the Wiki to allow anyone to
|
||||
provide additional information. If you do so, link to it from the
|
||||
alert.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Clearing An Alert
|
||||
|
||||
To stop advertising an alert on every Bitcoin.org page, change the YAML
|
||||
header field `active` to *false*:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
## (Optional; default=false) Active alerts will display the banner (below) on all bitcoin.org content pages
|
||||
active: false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, for a few days you can change the message and set the
|
||||
CSS `bannerclass` to *success* to indicate the problem has been resolved.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
## (Optional; HTML text) Banner displayed if 'active: true'. Can use HTML formatting
|
||||
banner: "<b>Chain fork</b> - situation resolved"
|
||||
## (Optional; default=alert) CSS class to set banner color
|
||||
## alert = red | warning = orange | success = green | info = blue
|
||||
bannerclass: success
|
||||
```
