Template:Circular/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:12, 23 January 2024

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Circular.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original Template page.

[[Category:Template documentation pages{{#translation:}}]]

This template indicates that the article, itself a part of Wikipedia, cites sources that take information from Wikipedia. Presumably this would be placed at the top of an article.

Usage

This template also includes support for using the |date= parameter. Adding this parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles lacking reliable references and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. A bot will add this parameter if it is omitted. Be careful not to abbreviate the date, because then it will automatically add a redlinked category instead of the correct category. The simplest way to use this parameter manually is {{Circular|{{subst:DATE}}}} but it can be done more explicitly as {{Circular|date=December 2024}} (both result in the same output). Do not use {{Circular|date={{subst:DATE}}}} as {{DATE}} includes the leading date=.

Listed below are four examples of usage:

{{Circular}}

{{Circular|date=December 2024}}

{{Circular|section}}

{{Circular|section|{{subst:DATE}}|talk=y}}
