![[icon]](/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section is empty. You can help by adding to it. (July 2024) |
May be placed in a section that is completely empty, containing neither text nor sub-sections.
Usage
{{Empty section|date=July 2024}}
{{Empty section|small=no|date=July 2024}}
{{Empty section|small=no|find=search keywords|date=July 2024}}
Parameters
|date=: month and year the section was last checked for references; e.g.,|date=July 2024|small=: Any value (typically "y", "yes", etc.) will make the template smaller. The template should normally be full-width when it applies to an entire section.|find=: search keywords for {{find sources}} param 1 (double-quoted search). This optional parameter adds a set of links produced by the {{find sources}} template to the output. If omitted, no "find sources" links are displayed.|find2=: search keywords for {{find sources}} param 2 (unquoted search).
Date
The |data= parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles to be expanded, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. You do not need to specify the date manually; a bot will add it later automatically.
