Module:Fix/doc

This meta-template can be used to create in-line tags with clean up messages which can be used to tag article issues on a line-by-line basis. Many templates are based upon it, like Citation needed.

It should not be used directly on articles by itself — instead, use one of the pre-existing derivatives if at all possible. Should there be no suitable derivative already, new ones can be created using the syntax that follows, but please discuss the need for any new template at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Inline Templates first. Otherwise, the sub-template in question is likely to end up at Templates for discussion, as it is better for Wikipedia to have a finite and well-tested set of in-line tags than to allow for endless variation.

Usage


Categories are ignored if the template is used on a talk page or on any other non-article page.


 * The value specified via  must be in wikicode,.


 * The value specified via  is used as part of a category name. It must be specified  square brackets, but  a "Category:" prefix. The full category name is obtained from the cat-date value, the word "from", and the date value.
 * For example, given, the article will be placed in Category:Articles with dead external links from.
 * The date parameter is normally pre-filled by any template using  or  as a meta-template; rather, it is coded in those derived templates as   so that an editor provided date is passed through (or null, otherwise).
