Template:Promotional section

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

This template is wrapper for {{Promotional}}

When to use

Add this to article sections that need help from other editors because they written in a promotional manner. For example, they may tell readers to buy the company's product, provide price lists, give links to online sellers, or use unencyclopedic or meaningless buzzwords.

The template is for sections that are directly trying to sell a product to our readers. Don't add the template simply because the material in the section shows a company or a product in an overall positive light or because it provides an encyclopedic summary of a product's features.

This template adds articles to Category:Articles with a promotional tone.

How to use

Place {{Promotional section|date=May 2026}} at the top of the offending section.
