Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template automatically adds articles to Category:Articles in need of internal merging or Category:Duplicate articles.

Basic usage: {{Duplication|date=July 2016}}

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

• section — changes wording to say "This section duplicates...". Place the template at the top of the section.

  Example: {{Duplication|section=yes}}

• dupe — adds a link referring to the section or article being duplicated, and adds the article to Category:Duplicate articles instead of Category:Articles in need of internal merging.

  Examples: {{Duplication|dupe=#Section name}} {{Duplication|dupe=Article name}}

• dupe2 — same as dupe, just allows for an additional section/article to be linked.

  Example: {{Duplication|dupe=Article name|dupe2=#Section name}}
