Template:Lead extra info

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Place {{Lead extra info|date=May 2024}} at the top of articles where the lead section contains information that is not mentioned elsewhere in the article.

• Do use this template when a lead fact isn't discussed by the body at all. Instead use {{Template:Not verified in body}} when the body does discuss the fact, but fails to verify it.

• Do use this template regardless of whether the fact is verified (by the lead) or not. (WP:LEADCITE allows for facts to be verified in the lead, but not for facts to only be discussed by the lead)

Notes

• This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia introduction cleanup
