Common – one incoming link:

{{high traffic|date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|url=http://www.reddit.com/somepagehere.html|site=Reddit}}

Multiple links from high-traffic sites:

{{high traffic|date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|url=http://www.reddit.com/somepagehere.html|site=Reddit|date2={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|url2=http://www.cnn.com/somepagehere.html|site2=CNN}}

Mentioned[1] on a high-traffic site but not linked from it. Common on high-traffic news web sites:

{{high traffic|date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|url=http://www.reddit.com/somepagehere.html|site=Reddit|linktext=mentioned|afterlinktext=on|notlinked=yes}}

Small version:

{{high traffic|date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|url=http://www.reddit.com/somepagehere.html|site=Reddit|small=yes}}

Talk page linked from high-traffic site:

{{high traffic|date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|url=http://www.reddit.com/somepagehere.html|site=Reddit|page=talk}}
