模板:Self-contradictory
This article or section appears to contradict itself. (3月 2026) |
.svg){kind=link}
This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Self-contradictory articles.
- This template is a self-reference.
- This template is not useful for substitution.
- After posting this template
Please start a section on the article's talk page to discuss and specify the specific section that contradicts itself. The third optional parameter is the name of a specific section on the specified talk page.
It is possible to specify the subject about which the article or section is contradictory with the optional parameter about.
- Example of use
{{Self-contradictory|about=the cause of death|date=3月 2026}}
This renders as:
This article or section appears to contradict itself on the cause of death. (3月 2026) |
Adding the optional text |section or |article changes the vague default wording to be more specific:
- Default: "This article or section appears to contradict ..." followed by "itself" or a link to an article named with
|article= |articleor|1=article– "This article appears to contradict ..." followed by "itself" or a link to an article named with|article=|sectionor|1=section– "This section appears to contradict ..." followed by "itself" or a link to an article named with|article=|othersectionor|1=othersection– "This section appears to contradict another section of this article" (this parameter is ignored if mutually exclusive parameter|article=has a value; the default output will result).
- More complex examples of use
{{Self-contradictory|section|date=3月 2026}}{{Self-contradictory|about=the cause of death|1=article|date=3月 2026}}{{Self-contradictory|othersection|date=3月 2026}}{{Self-contradictory|section|article=John F. Kennedy|about=the cause of death|date=3月 2026}}
Notes:
- The date-substitution template may be used to automatically generate the date, e.g.,
{{Self-contradictory|{{subst:DATE}}}}. See Help:Substitution for more information. - The
|date=parameter need not be added by the editor: if not entered, a bot will soon add it. The date parameter consists of the full English name of the current month with initial capital, a space, and the year, not full dates, ISO date order, or other formatting; e.g., "January 2013", but not "jan13" or "7 January 2013" or "2013-01". Any deviation from this rule will result in an "invalid date parameter" error.
