All works of fiction should have a plot summary.
- This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles without plot summaries.
- This template is a self-reference.
- This template should not be substituted.
Usage
Create a section called "Plot" and place {{No plot|date=November 2024}} in it.
This template can refer to a section (or another article part), instead of the default article, like this: {{No plot|section|date=November 2024}}.
If the article is missing multiple plot summaries, use |plural=yes.
<templatedata> { "params": { "date": { "label": "Month and Year", "type": "date", "autovalue": "{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}", "suggested": true } } } </templatedata>
