Template:Contradiction-inline/doc

This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Self-contradictory articles.

Usage
This template is used to mark sentences or phrases that contradict material in the same article. To mark a sentence or phrase that contradicts something in a different article, use contradict-inline instead.

Parameters
This template allows an optional date parameter that records when the tag was added. If this template is added without the date parameter, the date parameter will be added soon after by a bot.
 * date:

Because it may not be immediately apparent to other editors where contradictions lie in an article, it is generally helpful to add a brief explanation to the tag:  (this is preferable to using an HTML   after the tag, as it is more tidy to keep all of the -related code inside the template). If the explanation would be lengthy, use the articles talk page but note that in the reason parameter (See Talk at ;).
 * reason:

As well as being visible in the source code for editors' benefit, the reason parameter is, if provided, displayed when the mouse cursor hovers over the "contradiction" link in the article. For technical reasons, this mouseover feature does not work if the reason text contains double quotes. Use single quotes instead, or use the code  if it is essential to include a double quote.
