Template:Definition
This inline template is used in articles where words are used in a way where their intended meaning is ambiguous.
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
Example
{{Definition|date=June 2026}}
This produces:
This template will add the article tagged to Category:Wikipedia articles needing clarification or a monthly subcategory thereof.
TemplateData
Use {{Definition}} in the body of an article as a request for other editors to add further explanation to text that assumes a particular meaning of a word.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reason | 1 reason | A brief reason for the tag. Because it may not be immediately apparent to other editors what about the tagged passage is in need of further explanation, a brief reason is generally helpful. The reason parameter displays when the mouse cursor is placed over the text the template inserts.
| String | suggested |
| Date | date | An optional date parameter that records when the tag was added. If this template is added without the date parameter, the date parameter will be added soon after by a [[WP:BOT|bot]].
| Date | required |
