| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Dead end. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as this template is used in the standard installation of Twinkle. Thank you! |
- This template should be added to articles which have no internal links.[1] Articles which have some internal links, but are in need of more, should be tagged with {{underlinked}} instead.
- An optional parameter can be specified to give other Wikipedians an idea of what general topic this article covers so that they may add links relevant to it.
- This template will add pages to Category:Dead-end pages or one of its dated subcatgories.
- If a parameter is provided such as {{Dead end|date=December 2025}} then the page is put into a by-date category instead. Another way to do this is to paste the following to the page:
{{subst:dated|Dead end}}If the date is left out, a bot will add it. - The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste
{{Dead end}}to the top of an article. You may also drop it into the top of a section, but please specify the "|section" option to generate the proper template text. - Please do not subst: this template. Use of the {{dated}} template does require a subst:, which is used to save the current date.
- Please do not include Category pages.
- Date tagging syntax:
{{Dead end|date=December 2025}}or{{Dead end|section|date=December 2025}}
Notes
- ↑ Specifically, there should be no links within the body of the article. Links within infoboxes, hatnotes, Reference sections, etc., should not be taken into consideration.
