This is a documentation subpage for Template:Expand section. It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the {{Expand section}} message box.
It can be placed at the top of article sections that need expansion, below the section title. It can also be used on other pages such as in "LIMSWiki:" space. (This template currently only uses the "article message box" style, but that is a bug we are going to fix.)
This template can be used without any parameters, like this:
{{Expand section}}
This section requires expansion. |
It can also take the current month and year as a parameter, which is used in categorizing the page into a corresponding category. (See more on that below.) Like this:
{{Expand section|date=November 2024}}
This section requires expansion. |
The date parameter causes no visible change in the message box itself, it only makes the page categorize properly.
This template can also take an unnamed parameter with an explanation of what expansion the section needs. And you can of course feed the date parameter at the same time. Like this:
{{Expand section|examples and additional citations|date=November 2024}}
This section requires expansion with: examples and additional citations. |
Categorization
When this template is used in main (article) space it places the article in Category:Articles to be expanded or in a dated category like Category:Articles to be expanded from November 2024 if the date parameter "date=November 2024" is specified. It also places the article in Category:All articles to be expanded.
Usage
