Template:Localist/doc

Optional parameters

 * August 2024  Please help with the categorization of articles for cleanup by using this parameter. You can use date as a shorthand to enter this parameter. Articles tagged with this template without the parameter will eventually be given the parameter by a bot, but it may not reflect the correct month of tagging.
 * y  name of the town, city, etc., to which this pertains. Should usually be wikilinked, e.g. Madison, Wisconsin.
 * category A more specific subcategory of the default, Category:Places of local interest needing cleanup. It must be wikilinked [which is pointless; this template should be fixed to not require this, and cases of this parameter being used fixed to not manually link this way]. You can also use no to suppress category usage, e.g. when using the template as an example.
 * section  a.k.a. sect   If given a positive value ( y, yes , 1 , true ), will change "This article" to "This section". If given some other value, will change it to use that value, e.g. "This table", "This list".
 * 1  The second of those uses can also be done as the first unnamed or numbered parameter:  or
 * y  If given a positive value ( y, yes , 1 , true ), makes the template into a smaller box, instead of a banner. Requires explicit definition of the template as applying not to the entire article:  or  or

Categorization
