This template is a self-reference. This template is not useful for Wikipedia:Subst.

This template is for use when a nonfiction article has become overcrowded with too many references to fiction or other pop culture. (Ex.: Article on horses having a long section of TV shows, movies, video games, etc. that have horse in the name or feature horses in some way.)
