Template:Lead too short
Sarna News
 | This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize the key points. |
Template documentation | This template, module and/or subpages are based on or ported over completely to BattleTechWiki, using the Creative Commons Licensed content from this page on Wikipedia (The original authors of this page are shown on here). |
Purpose[edit]
- This template is used on articles where the lead section is much shorter than what is recommended, relative to the length of the article.
- The appropriate length of the lead section depends on the total length of the article. If the lead fails to provide an adequate summary of the article's key points, without necessarily being too short, use the template {{lead rewrite}} instead.
- Do not use this template on stub articles. Stub articles are by definition underdeveloped articles - it is not yet appropriate to tag them as having a lead too short.
Usage[edit]
Place at the top of the article:
{{Lead too short}}
You can use the |reason= parameter to specify the reason why the lead is too short, as in the following example:
{{Lead too short|reason=Your critique here.}}
Tracking[edit]
- This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:introduction cleanup (2).
