Template:Incomprehensible/doc
{{Documentation subpage}}
{{Nosubst}}

Usage
- This template places articles into :Category:Wikipedia articles that are incomprehensible.
- Please use the {{Para|reason}} parameter to provide details.
Notes:
- The date-substitution template may be used to automatically generate the date, e.g., {{Tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|
{{SUBST:DATE}} }}. See Help:Substitution for more information. - The {{para|date}} parameter need not be added by the editor: if not entered, a bot will soon add it. The date parameter consists of the full English name of the current month with initial capital, a space, and the year, not full dates; e.g., "January 2013", but not "jan13". Any deviation from these two rules will result in an "invalid date parameter" error.
Parameters
- {{Para|date|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} - required parameter, will be added by a bot if omitted
- {{Para|reason|text}} - optional parameter which adds advisory text
- {{Para|machine|yes}} - optional parameter which adds "Sometimes this can be due to machine translation."
- {{Para|section|text}} - optional parameter which changes the word "article" to "section" if 'y', 'yes', '1', or 'true' or its value otherwise
- {{Para|talk|section}} - optional parameter which indicates the talk page section
- {{Para|small|left}} - optional parameter which allows the use of the small format
