This template is a self-reference and so is part of the CAPipediaproject rather than the encyclopedic content.
Purpose
This inline template should be used in articles where words are used in a way where their intended meaning is ambiguous.
Example
{{Definition|date=July 2024}}
This produces:
This template will add the article tagged to Category:CAPipediaarticles needing clarification or a monthly subcategory thereof.
