| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Dead end. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as this template is used in the standard installation of Twinkle. Thank you! |
| This template is used by the standard installation of AutoWikiBrowser (AWB). If you are planning to make changes to this template, how it should be used, or nominate it for deletion, please notify AWB's user base and maintainers beforehand at Wikipedia talk:AWB as a courtesy. |
- This template should be added to articles which have no internal links. Articles which have some internal links, but are in need of more, should be tagged with {{underlinked}} instead.
- An optional parameter can be specified to give other Wikipedians an idea of what general topic this article covers so that they may add links relevant to it.
- This template will add pages to Category:Dead-end pages or one of its dated subcatgories.
- If a parameter is provided such as {{Dead end|date=December 2025}} then the page is put into a by-date category instead. Another way to do this is to paste the following to the page:
{{subst:dated|Dead end}}If the date is left out, a bot will add it. - The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste
{{Dead end}}to the top of an article. You may also drop it into the top of a section, but please specify the "|section" option to generate the proper template text. - Please do not subst: this template. Use of the {{dated}} template does require a subst:, which is used to save the current date.
- Please do not include Category pages.
- Date tagging syntax:
{{Dead end|date=December 2025}}or{{Dead end|section|date=December 2025}}

- {{Orphan}} - for articles that are not linked from other articles
- {{Underlinked}} – for articles that need more internal links
