<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
== Purpose ==
This inline template should be used in articles where words is used in a way where [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch#Expressions that lack precision|its intended meaning is ambiguous]].
==Example==
{{Tlx|Definition|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
This produces:
{{Definition|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
This template will add the article tagged to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing clarification]] or a monthly subcategory thereof.
==See also==
* {{Tl|Definition needed}} – when a statement or a term completely lacks definition
* {{Tl|Disambiguation needed}} – for the special case where the term needing clarification is [[Wikipedia:Wikilinks|wikilinked]] to a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation page|disambiguation page]], and you are unable to find a suitable replacement link.
* {{Tl|Ambiguous}} – for ambiguous ''statements''
* {{Tl|Clarify}} – for other text that is difficult to understand
* {{Tl|Non sequitur}} – for when someone or something has been mentioned for reasons unclear to the reader
* {{tl|Which one}} for text which could refer to one of numerous people or items but which is not linked to a disambiguation page.
