[purge]
This is the documentation page. It should be transcluded into the main template page. See Template:Documentation for more informationShortcut
This template is a wrapper for {{missing information}}. It should be used on sections that are missing information and need to be expanded. For very short sections, use {{stub section}} instead.
Usage
{{section needing info|1|nocat=Optional category remover|section=Obligatory section editor}}
- The
1parameter adds an explanatory text. Incompatible withsection, as it uses the{{missing information}}template. - The
sectionparameter specify the section to be edited. The number of the section needs to be placed after it, likesection=1for example. Incompatible with1, as it uses the base template. - The
nocatparameter prevents the template to add the article into the Category:Articles to be expanded.
Note: If both 1 and section are used, 1 overrides section.
