 | This section may stray from the topic of the article. (September 2024) |
Usage
Place {{Off topic|date=September 2024}} at the top of sections that seem to stray off the page's topic (if the date is omitted, bots will add it later).
If relevant, explain why on the article's talk page.
- This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:All articles that may have off-topic sections and the appropriate dated subcategory of Category:Wikipedia articles that may have off-topic sections.
- This template is a self-reference.
- This template should not be substituted.
Other article
{{Off topic|date=September 2024|Foobar|talksectionheading}} will result in: | This section may stray from the topic of the article into the topic of another article, Foobar. (September 2024) |
