== Usage ==
<!-- Insert -->
* This template places articles into [[:Category:Wikipedia articles that are incomprehensible]].
* Please use the {{Para|reason}} parameter to provide details.

<!-- Insert -->

'''Notes''':
* The date-substitution template may be used to automatically generate the date, e.g., {{Tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|<nowiki>{{SUBST:DATE}}</nowiki>}}. See [[Help:Substitution]] for more information.
* The {{para|date}} parameter need not be added by the editor: if not entered, a [[Wikipedia:Bots|bot]] will soon add it.  The date parameter consists of the full English name of the current month with initial capital, a space, and the year, not full dates; e.g., "January 2013", but not "jan13". ''Any deviation from these two rules will result in an "invalid date parameter" error.''

== Parameters ==
* {{Para|date|<var>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}</var>}} - required parameter, will be added by a bot if omitted
* {{Para|reason|<var>text</var>}} - optional parameter which adds advisory text
* {{Para|machine|<var>yes</var>}} - optional parameter which adds "Sometimes this can be due to [[WP:MACHINETRANSLATION|machine translation]]."
* {{Para|section|<var>text</var>}} - optional parameter which changes the word "article" to "section" if 'y', 'yes', '1', or 'true' or its value otherwise
* {{Para|talk|<var>section</var>}} - optional parameter which indicates the talk page section
* {{Para|small|<var>left</var>}} - optional parameter which allows the use of the small format

=== Examples ===
: Paste-ready example: {{Tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
: Example with reason: {{Tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|reason{{=}} }}
: Example with talk: {{Tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|talk{{=}} }}
: Example with machine: {{Tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|machine{{=}}yes}}
: Example with section: {{Tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|section|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} or {{Tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|section{{=}}yes}}
: Example with small: {{Tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|small{{=}}left}}

{{tlx|Incomprehensible|small{{=}}left|machine{{=}}yes}} generates:
{{Incomprehensible|small=left|machine=yes|nocat=1}}
