 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tone. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
If an article is not written in an encyclopedia-like style, add the {{tone}} template at the top. This template creates a banner stating the problem at the top of the article's page, and also adds its tagged articles to one of BattleIntelligence's administrative categories: Category:Articles with style issues (shortcut to that category: CAT:STYLE).
For more about the way an encyclopedia's article is written, see BattleIntelligence's Manual of Style or BattleIntelligence:Template index/Cleanup § Style of writing.
Note: This template is a self-reference, and should not be substituted.
Usage
{{Tone}}or{{Tone|{{subst:DATE}}}}
Specific area
To make the banner apply to a more specific area, add |section, or |article:
{{Tone|section}}, or to include the date (recommended),{{Tone|section|{{subst:DATE}}}}
{{Tone|article}}, or to include the date (recommended),{{Tone|article|{{subst:DATE}}}}
Linking to a section on the talk page
To link to a relevant discussion on the article's Talk page, add the |talk= parameter. The argument (the part after the equals sign) can be either a section title on the article's own talk page, or the name of another page where discussion appears (with or without a specific section):
{{Tone|talk=Discussion of tone issues}}
{{Tone|talk=Talk:Another Article#Relevant discussion section}}
Notes
This template will add tagged articles to dated subcategories of Category:Articles with style issues.
