173.206.40.108: use date autovalue from other templates, previous one causes template errors

use date autovalue from other templates, previous one causes template errors

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

{{Never substitute}}

This template is used to mark sentences or phrases that contradict other material in the same page by default, or a different page if one is specified.

This [[Wikipedia:Template|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]].

== Usage ==

Append this template immediately after the contradictory material, and use one or more of the parameters below to specify the nature of the contradiction.

=== Parameters ===
{{strongbad|No links or other wikimarkup, and no double quotes, in these parameter values,}} except as noted below. This content appears in the mouse-over tooltip, when hovering over the template's "Contradictory" output. This feature cannot support links, italics, or other markup, and chokes on double quotes (use single, or the character entity code <code>&quot;</code> to generate a double quote character).
; Unnamed parameter (may be named explicitly as '''{{para|1}}''' or '''{{para|article}}''')
: Title of mainspace article with which the material is in conflict, e.g. {{para|article|Dove}}, and may contain a <code>#</code> anchor to a section, e.g. {{para|article|Dove#Domestication}}, though it will be more legible to specify the section with the {{para|section}} parameter below: {{para|article|Dove}}{{para|section|Domestication}}.
; {{para|page}}
: Title of a non-article (and optionally a section within it, or use {{para|section}}) with conflicting material, e.g. the article's talk page: {{para|page|Talk:Pigeon#New sources on genetics}} or {{para|page|Talk:Pigeon}}{{para|section|New sources on genetics}}. When the template is used in a non-article (e.g. a Wikipedia guideline page), this parameter and the above one are equivalent.
; {{para|section}}
: Name of a section (or other HTML anchor) in the present page or other page, to be more specific about where the material is with which the tagged content conflicts; do not use the <code>#</code> symbol. When used alone, it indicates a section on the current page, e.g. {{para|section|Modern genetic research}}. When used with either of the above two parameters, indicates a section on the other page, e.g. {{para||Dove}}{{para|section|Domestication}}.
; {{para|reason}}
: Used to {{em|replace the entire output}} of the mouse-over tooltip,{{Under discussion inline|talk=Behavior of the 'reason' parameter}} to provide an alternative explanation about the nature of the conflicting information. Use the talk page for detailed information, as the tooltip cannot supply a large amount of content (depending on browser, there are limits to both the amount of content that can be included, and the length of time it will display; it needs to be readable in a few seconds).
; {{para|date|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
: To date the addition of the tag. If you leave this parameter off, a [[WP:Bot|bot]] will add it later.

== Categorisation ==
This template may categorise tagged articles, depending on parameters.
# If it is used in an article, and no conflicting article is specified, the article will be categorised into [[:Category:All self-contradictory articles]].
# If it is used in an article and a conflicting article is specified, the article in which the template appears will be categorised into [[:Category:Articles contradicting other articles]].

=== Examples ===
* The code: {{Tlx|Contradictory inline}} produces: {{Contradictory inline}}
* The code: {{Tlx|Contradictory inline|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} produces: {{Contradictory inline|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
* The code: {{Tlx|Contradictory inline|Dove}} produces: {{Contradictory inline|Dove}}
* The code: {{Tlx|Contradictory inline|1{{=}}Dove#Domestication}} produces: {{Contradictory inline|1=Dove#Domestication}}
* The code: {{Tlx|Contradictory inline|article{{=}}Dove|section{{=}}Domestication}} produces: {{Contradictory inline|article=Dove|section=Domestication}}
* The code: {{Tlx|Contradictory inline|page{{=}}Talk:Pigeon|section{{=}}Merging article "Doves"}} produces: {{Contradictory inline|page=Talk:Pigeon|section=Merging article "Doves"}}
* The code: {{Tlx|Contradictory inline|section{{=}}See also}} produces: {{Contradictory inline|section=See also}}
* The code: {{Tlx|Contradictory inline|article{{=}}Dove|section{{=}}Domestication|reason{{=}}Sources there have earlier domestication date.|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} produces: {{Contradictory inline|article=Dove|section=Domestication|reason=Sources there have earlier domestication date.|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
