Template:X9/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Articles with topics of unclear notability. This template is a self-reference. It should never be used with Wikipedia:Subst.

Providing no arguments to the template will result in a generic but rather verbose message with a comprehensive list of notability guidelines. An optional argument renders the message more specific. Specific options include:

  • Academics
  • Biographies
  • Books
  • Companies
  • Episode (for TV episodes)
  • Fiction
  • Institutions
  • Music
  • Neologisms
  • Numbers
  • Organizations or Organisations
  • Products
  • Web

Else, you can use:

  • Notability. In this case, only the main notability guideline article is referenced.
  • Proposed. In this case a second argument is required to provide a link to the proposed guideline.
For example, {{notability|Proposed|[[Wikipedia:Notability (software)]]}}.
  • Other. For forward compatibility with new guidelines that have not yet been given a syntactic shortcut in this template. A second argument is required as a link to the guideline.
For example, were "Music" not already supported, one could use: {{notability|Other|[[Wikipedia:Notability (music)|Music]]}}.

[edit] Usage

Use this template when there is a disagreement about whether an article subject is notable.
