Template:AI-generated inline/doc

Usage

This tag is intended to identify parts of an article that need extensive examination because they appear to have been generated using an AI system.

Such systems produce generic pages that have many issues, including passages that are copyright violations or are closely paraphrased from copyrighted sources (or from Wikipedia itself), and contain references that are, at face value, plausible, but in reality are entirely fictitious. Additionally, the prose itself may be stilted, oddly phrased or ludicrous.

Alternatives

Pages that are proven to be in violation of copyright should be nominated for deletion using {{Db-copyvio}}. Pages that are patent nonsense should be nominated for deletion using {{Db-nonsense}}.

Pages that are incomprehensible or have other major issues should be sent to the appropriate deletion discussion page.

If problems are correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being bold and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this template and leaving it for someone else to clean up.

If you feel that an article needs a significant amount of cleanup, you can post it to WikiProject Cleanup. Editors will give your submitted article a cleanup and fix any problems associated with it.

How to use

Place {{AI-generated inline|date=July 2025}} after the disputed text, then explain your reasons on the page's talk page. If the date is not included it will likely be added later by a bot.
