This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.

== Usage ==

This template may be used in articles where a term is used that lacks definition and it is unclear what the term refers to.

{{Tlx|Definition needed|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

This produces:

{{Definition needed|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

This template will add the article to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing clarification]] or a monthly subcategory thereof.

===See also===
* {{Tl|Definition}} – when multiple definitions or meanings exist, or there is no consensus definition or meaning
* {{Tl|Disambiguation needed}} – for the special case where the term needing clarification is [[Wikipedia:Wikilinks|wikilinked]] to a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation page|disambiguation page]], and you are unable to find a suitable replacement link.
* {{Tl|Expand acronym}} – for acronyms, abbreviations or initialisms that are not written in full on first occurence
* {{Tl|Ambiguous}} – for ambiguous ''statements''
* {{Tl|Clarify}} – for other text that is difficult to understand
