Template:Coatrack

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Template:Coatrack is for articles that primarily may relate to a different subject (coatrack), or to only one aspect rather than the subject as a whole (content forking). A coatrack article is an article that ostensibly discusses the nominal subject, but in reality is a cover for a tangentially related

neutral point of view

guidelines or the article is redundant with another article.

Usage

To use this template, place {{Coatrack|date=April 2024}} on the article page or talk page in a location that may aid in conveying the message of the template. This template lists articles in
Template messages/Cleanup
. The following parameters may be specified for this template:

|date= This template can take an optional date parameter, which will be added by a
bot if omitted. For this, use {{Coatrack|date=April 2024}} or {{Coatrack|talk page section name|date=April 2024}}. This will add the page to the category Wikipedia neutral point of view disputes from April 2024
.

|details= The details parameter may be used to provide more details on some of the aspects that should be addressed for the given article.

Using Youth vote in the United States as an example:

{{Coatrack|date=April 2024|details=many of these subsections contain information of a general nature, without many details on how the youth vote is affected}}}}

produces:

This article may relate to
relocate relevant information
and remove irrelevant ones. (April 2024)

This template sorts articles into Category:Wikipedia neutral point of view disputes, or a dated subcategory thereof.
