Template:Recentism/doc: Difference between revisions

Wikipediawiki articles are supposed to be written from a [[WPProject:NPOVNeutral point of view|neutral point of view]], regarding any relevant aspect of the topic. This also includes appropriate coverage of relevant historical information. However, articles are sometimes biased towards placing undue emphasis on recent events, which may be due to a [[WikipediaProject:WikiProjectNeutral Counteringpoint systemicof biasview|systemic bias]]. In such cases, this maintenance template can be used to raise awareness of that shortcoming. As with all maintenance templates (also called "tags"), the preferred course of action is to [[WPProject:BOLDConsensus|boldly edit and fix the problem]] rather than slapping a tag on it.

This template places articles into [[:Category:Articles slanted towards recent events]], sorted into subcategories by month and year for easier maintenance. To this end, a bot automatically adds the date for each [[WPProject:TRANSCLUSIONTemplate documentation|transclusion]] of the template.
