 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Empty section. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
May be placed in a section that is completely empty, containing neither text nor sub-sections.
Content tends to follow sectioning on Wikipedia, as editors naturally will tend to fill in sections over time. Therefore, using this template to set up good placeholder sections at the start of an article's lifespan can aid its development over time.
Date[edit source]
The |date= parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles to be expanded, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first.
Template Data[edit source]
TemplateData for Empty section
Maintenance template to be placed in sections that are empty, containing neither text nor sub-sections. Before tagging an empty section, consider removing the section heading instead – for example, an empty "Gallery", "See also" or "External links" section can safely be deleted. Puts articles into [[Category:Articles with empty sections]] and [[Category:Articles to be expanded]].
