Template:COI/doc
| This is a documentation subpage for Template:COI. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
{{COI|date=January 2026}}
To tag a section, use {{COI|section|date=January 2026}}
When placing this tag, please also tag the talk page with {{Connected contributor}} so that other users know what the conflict of interest is.
If you have immediately corrected the problem there is no need for this COI clean-up tag, this is not a badge of shame.
This tag needs to be accompanied with a talk page discussion of specific actionable issues. Once these are addressed the COI tag should be removed.
For a template intended to warn someone with a possible COI, see Template:uw-coi.
Notes
This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles with possible conflicts of interest, or a dated subcategory thereof.
