| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Fix (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 |
This template is used on 400,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This meta-template can be used to create in-line 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 below, 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 Wikipedia: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[edit source]
{{Fix
| subst = <includeonly>{{subst:</includeonly><includeonly>substcheck}}</includeonly>
| link = <Page which text should link to, without brackets> (default = Wikipedia:Cleanup)
| text = <Text to be displayed for the link>
| pre-text = <Optional text to print before the linked text>
| post-text = <Optional text to print after the linked text>
| class = <Class to set text to> (default = "noprint Inline-Template"; neither should be removed, but additional classes can be added, e.g. "noprint Inline-Template FooBarBazQuux")
| title = <Tool--tip text to display when mouse is hovered over link>
| special = <Optional replacement for text, link, title, pre-text, and post-text - allowing user to define a non-standard format>
| date = <Optional date parameter to be displayed at end of 'title' and/or in cat-date>
| cat = <Category to include page in>
| cat-date = <Category to include page in - with optional date parameter in the category name>
}}
Categories are ignored if the template is used on a talk page or on any other non-article page.
- The value specified via
|cat=must be in wikicode, including square brackets.
- The value specified via
|cat-date=is used as part of a category name. It must be specified without square brackets, but with a "Category:" prefix. The full category name is obtained from the cat-date value, the word "from", and the date value.
- For example, given
|cat-date=Category:Articles with dead external links |date=November 2024, the article will be placed in Category:Articles with dead external links from November 2024.
