Usage

Use on user pages or user talk pages when people shouldn't expect them to be answered quickly. When using simply {{busy}}, the template produces the message above

Parameters

There are two unnamed parameters. The first which replaces "this user" with the name placed.
IE {{busy|He}} produces

The second unnamed parameter replaces "in real life" with whatever is put. Unfortunately, at the time being it requires for there to be something in the first parameter as otherwise nothing will be shown for the first parameter (DO NOT use {{busy||foo}}).
IE {{busy|This user|at [[school]]}} produces
