Template:Circular
| This article cites Wikipedia or sources that take information from Wikipedia, in a circle. Please help improve this article by repairing the any insufficient attribution if necessary and adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. |
This template indicates that the article, itself a part of Wikipedia, cites sources that take information from Wikipedia. Presumably this would be placed at the top of an article.

Usage
This template also includes support for using the |date= parameter. Adding this parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles lacking reliable references and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. A bot will add this parameter if it is omitted. Be careful not to abbreviate the date, because then it will automatically add a redlinked category instead of the correct category. The simplest way to use this parameter manually is {{Circular|{{subst:DATE}}}} but it can be done more explicitly as {{Circular|date=December 2025}} (both result in the same output). Do not use {{Circular|date={{subst:DATE}}}} as {{subst:DATE}} includes the leading date=.
Listed below are four examples of usage:
{{Circular}}
{{Circular|date=December 2025}}
{{Circular|section}}
{{Circular|section|{{subst:DATE}}|talk=y}}
