When to use
Add this to articles that need help from other editors because they sound like Advertising|advertisement]]s. For example, they may tell users to buy the company's product, provide price lists, give links to online sellers, or use unencyclopedic or meaningless buzzword]]s.
The advert tag is for articles that are directly trying to sell a product to our readers. Don't add this tag simply because the material in the article shows a company or a product in an overall positive light or because it provides an encyclopedic summary of a product's features.
How to use
- articles
- For articles needing major clean-up, place tlx|Advert|article}} at the top of the article to alert readers. Adding just
{{Advert}}is equivalent to this.
- sections
- To mark specific sections instead of the whole article, place tlx|Advert|section}} at the top of the section.
- remarks
- To replace the text "an advertisement", you may use tlx|Advert|article/section|yourtext}} or tlx|Advert|2=yourtext}}
Add a date parameter like this: tlx|Advert|date=November 2024}}. A bot will do this for you later, if you didn't.
This template adds articles to :Category:Articles with a promotional tone]]
See also
- tlx|Advert inline}} - for marking specific promotional language.
- tlx|News release}}
- tlx|Like resume}}
- tlx|Travel guide}}
- tlx|Cleanup-spam}}
- tlx|Fanpov}}
