Template:Contradict-inline Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Contradict-inline
Template documentationThis template is used to mark sentences or phrases that contradict other material in the same page by default, or a different page if one is specified.
- This template is a self-reference.
- This template is not useful for substitution.
Usage[edit]
Append this template immediately after the contradictory material, and use one or more of the parameters below to specify the nature of the contradiction.
Parameters[edit]
No links or other wikimarkup, and no double quotes, in these parameter values, except as noted below. This content appears in the mouse-over tooltip, when hovering over the template's "Contradictory" output. This feature cannot support links, italics, or other markup, and chokes on double quotes (use single, or the character entity code " to generate a double quote character).
- Unnamed parameter (may be named explicitly as
|1=or|article=) - Title of mainspace article with which the material is in conflict, e.g.
|article=Dove, and may contain a#anchor to a section, e.g.|article=Dove#Domestication, though it will be more legible to specify the section with the|section=parameter below:|article=Dove|section=Domestication. |page=- Title of a non-article (and optionally a section within it, or use
|section=) with conflicting material, e.g. the article's talk page:|page=Talk:Pigeon#New sources on geneticsor|page=Talk:Pigeon|section=New sources on genetics. When the template is used in a non-article (e.g. a Wikipedia guideline page), this parameter and the above one are equivalent. |section=- Name of a section (or other HTML anchor) in the present page or other page, to be more specific about where the material is with which the tagged content conflicts; do not use the
#symbol. When used alone, it indicates a section on the current page, e.g.|section=Modern genetic research. When used with either of the above two parameters, indicates a section on the other page, e.g.|Dove|section=Domestication. |reason=- Used to replace the entire output of the mouse-over tooltip,[under discussion] to provide an alternative explanation about the nature of the conflicting information. Use the talk page for detailed information, as the tooltip cannot supply a large amount of content (depending on browser, there are limits to both the amount of content that can be included, and the length of time it will display; it needs to be readable in a few seconds).
|date=August 2022- To date the addition of the tag. If you leave this parameter off, a bot will add it later.
Categorisation[edit]
This template may categorise tagged articles, depending on parameters.
- If it is used in an article, and no conflicting article is specified, the article will be categorised into Category:All self-contradictory articles.
- If it is used in an article and a conflicting article is specified, the article in which the template appears will be categorised into Category:Articles contradicting other articles.
Examples[edit]
In the following examples, the word "page" will actually be "article" if the template is used inside an actual article, and parameter 1 (a.k.a. article) is used.
- The code:
{{Contradict-inline}}
produces: [contradictory] - The code:
{{Contradict-inline|date=August 2022}}
produces: [contradictory] - The code:
{{Contradict-inline|Dove}}
produces: [contradictory] - The code:
{{Contradict-inline|1=Dove#Domestication}}
produces: [contradictory] - The code:
{{Contradict-inline|article=Dove|section=Domestication}}
produces: [contradictory] - The code:
{{Contradict-inline|page=Talk:Pigeon|section=New sources on genetics}}
produces: [contradictory] - The code:
{{Contradict-inline|section=Modern genetic research}}
produces: [contradictory] - The code:
{{Contradict-inline|article=Dove|section=Domestication|reason=Sources there have earlier domestication date.|date=August 2022}}
