This template uses Lua:
  • Module:Unsubst

If you suspect an article is a copyright violation, place this tag on the article's talk page. This tag should not be substituted.

Usage

To use this tag, include your signature and the full url of the version that you suspect is an infringement. Because the url will contain an equals sign, you must precede the url with url=.

For example:

{{Cv-unsure|~~~|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Article_name&oldid=987654321|date=February 2026}}

Results in:

The |section= parameter, when set to any value, will substitute the word "section" for "article". The |copyvios= parameter, when set to any value, will add a link to Earwig's Copyvio Detector.

For example:

{{Cv-unsure|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Article_name&oldid=987654321|date=February 2026|section=yes|copyvios=yes}}
