Template:Advert/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Advert (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
When to use[edit]
Add this to articles that need help from other editors because they sound like advertisements. For example, they may tell users to buy the company's product, provide price lists, give links to online sellers, or use unencyclopedic or meaningless buzzwords.
The advert tag is for articles that are directly trying to sell a product to our readers. Don't add this tag simply because the material in the article shows a company or a product in an overall positive light or because it provides an encyclopedic summary of a product's features.
This template adds articles to Category:Articles with a promotional tone.
How to use[edit]
Articles[edit]
- For articles needing major cleanup, place
{{Advert|date=April 2024}}at the top of the article to alert readers. - You can adjust the default "article" text with something more specific, such as:
{{Advert|article's "Controversy" section}}.
Remarks[edit]
- To replace the text "an advertisement", you may use
{{Advert|article/section|yourtext}}or{{Advert|2=yourtext}}or{{Advert|type=yourtext}}
