Usage
[edit]- This template places articles into Category:Wikipedia articles that are incomprehensible.
- Please use the
|reason=parameter to provide details.
Notes:
- The date-substitution template may be used to automatically generate the date, e.g.,
{{Incomprehensible|{{SUBST:DATE}}}}. See Help:Substitution for more information. - The
|date=parameter need not be added by the editor: if not entered, a bot will soon add it. The date parameter consists of the full English name of the current month with initial capital, a space, and the year, not full dates; e.g., "January 2013", but not "jan13". Any deviation from these two rules will result in an "invalid date parameter" error.
Parameters
[edit]|date=December 2024- required parameter, will be added by a bot if omitted|reason=text- optional parameter which adds advisory text|machine=yes- optional parameter which adds "Sometimes this can be due to machine translation."|section=text- optional parameter which changes the word "article" to "section" if 'y', 'yes', '1', or 'true' or its value otherwise|talk=section- optional parameter which indicates the talk page section|small=left- optional parameter which allows the use of the small format
Examples
