Template:Close paraphrasing/doc

From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group

Usage[edit]

This template is intended to mark close paraphrasing within articles that does not or may not rise to the level of copyright infringement.

{{close paraphrasing|article|source=http://example.com|free=yes/no|date=March 2024}}

All parameters are optional. article can be replaced with a more specific description of the problematic part, such as section or table. source can be used to indicate which source is being too closely paraphrased; it can contain links. |free=yes can be used to remove the wording "non-free copyrighted" from the template, if you want to use it to mark an article that may be plagiarized from a public domain resource.

This template also includes support for using the |date= parameter. Adding this parameter sorts the article into a dated subcategory of Category:Articles with close paraphrasing and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first.

This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Articles with close paraphrasing. See {{cleanup}} for more details.

This template is a self-reference.

This template should not be used with subst.
