Template:Awkward
[awkward]
Template documentation | This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason. |
Usage[edit]
Append to a segment of text, typically a single sentence, that needs rewriting because it is unclear:
[[Lorem ipsum]] dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.{{Awkward|date=January 2022}}
This will appear as:
- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.[awkward]
It is better to just rewrite the text in question yourself. Use this template only if you are uncertain of the best way to improve the text, but are certain that it needs improving. If the sentence is not fixable until more information is provided, the {{clarify}} template may be a better option.
You can use the hidden |reason= parameter to give a short explanation of the issue, e.g. |reason=Very ambiguous.
Tagged articles will be added to Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit, or a dated subcategory thereof.
