If an article is not written in an encyclopedia-like style, add the ((tone)) template at the top. This template creates a banner stating the problem at the top of the article's page, and also adds its tagged articles to one of Wikipedia's administrative categories: Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues (shortcut to that category: CAT:STYLE).
For more about the way an encyclopedia's article is written, see Wikipedia's Manual of Style or Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup § Style of writing.
Note: This template is a self-reference, and should not be substituted.
((Tone))
or ((Tone|((subst:DATE))))
To make the banner apply to a more specific area, add |section
, or |article
:
((Tone|section))
, or to include the date (recommended), ((Tone|section|((subst:DATE))))
((Tone|article))
, or to include the date (recommended), ((Tone|article|((subst:DATE))))
To link to a relevant discussion on the article's Talk page, add the |talk=
parameter. The argument (the part after the equals sign) can be either a section title on the article's own talk page, or the name of another page where discussion appears (with or without a specific section):
((Tone|talk=Discussion of tone issues))
((Tone|talk=Talk:Another Article#Relevant discussion section))
