Template:Dynamic list editnotice/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

This is an edit notice for pages consisting of a dynamic list. It may be used to try to discourage editors from adding non-notable or otherwise undesired entries.

Editnotices using this template appear in Category:Pages with dynamic list editnotice. Use parameter |nocat=true to suppress automatic categorization.

If a custom |criteria= is defined, the default last sentence changes to Entries that do not meet this standard may be removed. It can still be overridden with a custom |deletion criteria=, though.
