This template is used on approximately 2,200 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

Put {{Where|date=November 2024}} next to a statement which does not specify the place at which an event took place or to which the statement applies.

This template takes three parameters:

|date= Since when the tag has been in place. Must be in the following format: {{Where|date=November 2024}}.
|talk= Whether to display a link to the talk page. Can take values "yes" or "no". If "yes", then will exhibit a link to a talk page discussion you are supposed to open.
The name of the specific section on the talk page where you opened a discussion.

Full example:

{{Where|talk=yes|Example|date=November 2024}} results in ^{[where? — see talk page]}

(Please click the links to see where they lead.)

This template automatically adds tagged pages to Category:Vague or ambiguous geographic scope, or a dated subcategory thereof.
