Template:Expand section/doc

From LIMSWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

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}}

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=March 2024}}

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=March 2024}}

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 March 2024 if the date parameter "date=March 2024" is specified. It also places the article in Category:All articles to be expanded.
