This template will add tagged articles to [[:Category:Copied and pasted articles and sections]]. If you have strong reason to believe that the source material is copyrighted, please instead follow the procedure at [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]]. If a source cannot be identified, please use {{tl|Cv-unsure}}.

* This [[Wikipedia:Template messages|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Self-references to avoid|self-reference]].
* Please do not [[Wikipedia:Substitution|subst:]] this template.

== Syntax ==

To place this template, simply add {{Tl|Copypaste}} to the top of the suspect article or section. You may optionally include 3 arguments – one showing the date the tag was added, a second specifying whether it is an entire article or just a section that is suspect, and a third linking to the url you believe contains the original text.

For example:
: <code><nowiki>{{Copypaste|section|url=https://example.org|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code> produces:

{{Copypaste|section|url=https://example.org|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

== Parameters ==
* {{Para|date}}: the date the tag was added
* {{Para|url}}: the URL believed to contain the original text
* {{Para|1}} (or an empty parameter): text to replace the word "article", usually "section"

== Tracking categories ==
* {{clc|All copied and pasted articles and sections}}

== Redirects ==
* {{tlx|Plagiarized}}

== TemplateData ==
