==Usage==
===When to use===
Add this template to the top of any page whose article subject is, in your judgment, ''reasonably likely'' to be [[WikipediaElite Dangerous Wiki:Notability|non-notable]] (not the sort of subject that Wikipedia ought to have a separate article about). When an article is ''certainly, hopelessly'' non-notable, then you should nominate it for [[WikipediaProject:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] or take it to [[WikipediaProject:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]] instead.
 
[[WikipediaProject:Deletion is not clean uppolicy|Deletion is not clean up]]. Do not use this tag merely because the page requires significant work. Notability requires only that appropriate sources have been published about the subject. It does not require that any editor has [[WikipediaElite Dangerous Wiki:Citing sources|already named]] these sources, followed the neutral, encyclopedic style, or otherwise written a good article. Do not nominate this article for deletion merely because the template has been on the article for a long time; [[WikipediaProject:Editorial guidance|There is no deadline]] for resolving this maintenance message.
 
Do not place this message on an article that has already survived a discussion at [[WikipediaProject:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]] as "keep". This is not a badge of shame to show your disagreement with the AFD outcome.
 
===How to use===
Listed below are two examples of usage:
* {{tlx|Notability|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
* {{tlx|Notability|Products|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} if a [[Wikipedia:Notability#Subject-specificElite notabilityDangerous guidelinesWiki:Notability|specific Notability guideline]] is wanted.
 
In the second example "Products" refers to products and services. The parameter can be changed to any of the options in the list below; for example: {{tlx|notability|academics|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}. Note: Insert the actual month and year that you place the template on the page. This template documentation page uses the <nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}</nowiki> [[WPProject:VAREditorial guidance|magic variables]] to show the current month and year in examples, but don't put those codes into an article. Just type the name of the actual month and year (e.g., "January 2027" if it's January 2027).
 
This template will add the article to [[:Category:All articles with topics of unclear notability]] and [[:Category:Articles with topics of unclear notability from {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}]], both [[:Category:Hidden categories|hidden categories]].
 
===Removing this tag===
If you find an article that is tagged as having notability concerns, and you are certain that enough in-depth, [[WikipediaProject:IndependentCiting sources|independent sources]] have been [[WikipediaProject:PublishedEditorial guidance|published]] about the subject to overcome any notability issues, then '''please remove this tag'''. It is highly desirable, but not technically required, for you to add a list of good sources to the article or its talk page (assuming they are not already cited in the article), so that other editors will know about the existence of these sources.
 
If the template is re-added, please do not [[WikipediaProject:EditEditorial warringguidance|edit war]] over it. Questions of notability can be resolved through discussion or through [[WikipediaProject:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]]. If the article exists within the scope of an active [[WikiProject]], it may be beneficial to invite feedback from the group.
 
== Parameters ==
Line 29:
There is one positional parameter, and three named parameters:
 
* {{para|1}}{{snd}} a keyword, like 'academic' or 'sports', that may be used to link to a [[Wikipedia:Notability#Subject-specificElite notabilityDangerous guidelinesWiki:Notability|subject-specific Notability guideline]] (details below). Default: the generic guideline ([[WPElite Dangerous Wiki:Notability|Notability]]).
* {{para|date}}{{snd}}month name and year; e.g. {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} (no default)
* {{para|find}}{{snd}}search keywords for {{tl|find sources}} param 1 (double-quoted search); use {{para|find|none}} to suppress the listing. Default: search with the page title as search value.

=== Date ===
 
The {{para|date}} parameter is used to indicate when the template was added to a page. An example of its usage is {{tlc|Notability|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}. Adding this parameter sorts the article into monthly subcategories of [[:Category:Articles with topics of unclear notability]] (or of subcategories based on [[#Positional param 1 (specific guideline)|positional param 1]]), rather than adding it to the category itself, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. Passing this parameter also enables [[:Category:Wikipedia maintenance categories sorted by month|monthly cleanup categorization]]. If the date parameter is omitted, a [[WikipediaProject:Bot policyBots|bot]] will add it later.
 
=== Find ===
 
There are two 'find' parameters available to control the presentation and operation of the {{tl|find sources}} links optionally displayed by the {{tl|Notability}} template. By default, the template displays {{tl|find sources}} with a quoted search query equivalent to the exact article title. Sometimes, especially if the article has a long, [[WPProject:NDESCEditorial guidance|descriptive title]], or if it includes [[WPProject:PARENDISEditorial guidance|parenthetical disambiguation terms]], this may not give useful results. The find parameters can be used to provide the search keywords of your choice to the {{tl|find sources}} links. Use:
:* {{para|find}} to specify keywords for an exact search (double-quoted query); this corresponds to {{tl|find sources}} positional param&nbsp;<code>|1</code>.
:* {{para|find2}} to specify keywords for an unquoted search; this corresponds to {{tl|find sources}} param&nbsp;<code>|2</code>. The alias {{para|unquoted}} may be used instead.
