Template:Convert to template

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template tags articles or sections that use raw wikicode in place of a template designed to do the same thing. Often, templates provide category checks, accessibility tracking and standardization between articles, and may be more beneficial to an article than using raw wikicode.

Usage

This template can refer to a section (or another article part), instead of the default article:

{{Convert to template|section}}

{{Convert to template|1=paragraph}}

{{Convert to template|1=paragraph|template=Episode list}}

This template can be dated:

{{Convert to template|date=December 2024}}

{{Convert to template|section|date=December 2024}}

{{Convert to template|section|template=Episode list|date=December 2024}}

If the date is left off a bot will add it.
