Template:Example needed/doc

Use this template to indicate you believe an example is needed in an article, or that some line of reasoning would greatly benefit from an example. Strongly consider explaining why and how on the talk page.

It also adds articles to Category:Articles needing examples or a dated subcategory of it.

Usage

• {{Example needed|date=April 2024}} → 
• {{Example needed|s|date=April 2024}} →    (or |plural or |pl)

If there already is an example, just not one that meets your standards (in some way), use this template and explain in an edit summary or on the talk page. (There isn't a specific "Better example needed" template for when an example already exists but where you feel it should be improved.)

Redirects

• {{Exemplify}}
• {{For example?}}
• {{Like what?}}
• {{Such as?}}
