Template:Wikify

Template documentation

Usage

• {{Wikify}} puts articles into Category:Articles that need to be wikified.

• If a date parameter is provided such as {{Wikify|date=November 2025}} then the page is put into a by-month category instead. If the date is left out, a bot will add it later.

• A reason may optionally be provided with the reason parameter, for example {{Wikify|reason=REASON}}. It will appear when the show link is clicked.

• Note that although this template is commonly used when a page has no wikilinks, it is not limited to just that. It could also refer to any form of wiki-markup, such as bolding/italicizing of text or formatting standard headings and layout, including the addition of infoboxes and other templates, i.e. "wikification".

• This template is a self reference.

• As of September 2012 this template is deprecated (see discussion). More specific templates, such as {{Underlinked}}, should be used instead. See below.
