Optional parameters
[edit]- This template takes the optional parameter
|for=(a.k.a.|reason=) which can be used to change the hover text, e.g.|for=The text preceding this tag needs copy editing for tone.The default value is "The text preceding this tag may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling.". - This template takes the optional parameter
|date=, with the format|date=March 2026. An expedient way to enter it is|subst:{{DATE}}instead of using|date=directly. - This template will auto-categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit, or a dated subcategory thereof. However, if the optional parameter and value
|categories=nois set, the template will not categorise the page.
