Template:Expand/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:52, 27 March 2016

This template is used to mark articles or sections in need of expansion.

This template "unsubstitutes" itself to set its date. When you put it in a page, you can use

{{subst:expand}}

When you save it, it will magically unpack itself, and the next time you edit the page containing it, you will see

{{Expand|date=March 2016}}

And that will display:

Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

If you include the option s, the template will interpret this as meant for just one section rather than the whole article, and the infobox switches to "small-left" style instead of the bigger full-page one:

Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
