This template is used to mark articles which are missing the alternate text for images (see WP:ALT). The template is based on Template:Coord missing which uses an identical structure to flag those articles needing geographical coordinates added.

Usage

Parameters

If no parameters are present then the article will be added to Category:Unclassified articles missing image alternate text.

If parameters are present then the article with be added to Category:optionalpar articles missing image alternate text. That category may need to be created as this template only creates the link – it does not create the category.

The categories should be hidden categories using Template:hiddencat. To view hidden categories, one needs to activate them in Special:Preferences. Under "Misc", there is "Show hidden categories".

Removal of template

The template should be removed when the alternate text has been added to the article.
