Template:Tone inline

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

Usage

Add {{tone inline}} after a specific statement that is problematic. If the entire article or section has a tone or style issue, see {{Tone}}.

This template is not for flagging items that an editor simply thinks might be incorrect or unsourced (this is what {{Citation needed}} is for). It is for tagging statements may not be appropriate for Wikipedia.

Do not add this template to a page more than a reasonable number of times. Please consider using one of the other templates mentioned below instead.

The |date= should be included, although AnomieBOT will add it later if omitted.

The |reason= parameter allows you to add a reason. This shows in the tooltip when the user hovers over the link in the template.
