Description of suggested change: Make the auto value of "affected area" section, as done in Template:Unreferenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TypistMonkey (talk • contribs) 03:21, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: in the {{Unreferenced}} template, the "auto value" is actually "article", which has been corrected in the template data part of the documentation. In this template the auto value of the "affected area" is also "article" and can be changed to "section" with the #1 unnamed parameter, for example, |1=section. Thank you for your improvements!

Please add redirects such as Template:More references, so that when browsing the templates list in the editor, these alternate names appear with the documentation and necessary parameters. Thanks. Anthropophoca (talk) 04:54, 20 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
