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

{{Alt text missing|optionalpar1|optionalpar2|optionalpar3}}

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.

Calling this template from other templates

When called from within another template this template MUST be called with the demospace option set to main i.e.

{{Alt text missing|optionalpar1|optionalpar2|optionalpar3|demospace=main}}

Or cut and paste the following:

<!--

***** flag those images that need alt text adding *****

-->{{#if: {{{static_image_alt|}}}
|<!-- then --><!-- do nothing -->
|<!-- else -->{{#if: {{{static_image|}}}
|<!-- then -->{{alt text missing|{{{country}}}|{{{shire_county/state}}}
|Unclassified|demospace=main}} }} }}
{{#if: {{{static_image_alt_2|}}}
|<!-- then --><!-- do nothing -->
|<!-- else -->{{#if: {{{static_image_2|}}}
|<!-- then -->{{alt text missing|{{{country}}}|{{{shire_county/state}}}
|Unclassified|demospace=main}} }} }}
