සැකිල්ල:Definition
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
Purpose
[සංස්කරණය]This inline template should be used in articles where words are used in a way where their intended meaning is ambiguous.
Example
[සංස්කරණය]{{Definition|date=නොවැම්බර් 2024}}
This produces:
This template will add the article tagged to Category:Wikipedia articles needing clarification or a monthly subcategory thereof.

| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reason | 1 reason | A brief reason for the tag. Because it may not be immediately apparent to other editors what about the tagged passage is in need of further explanation, a brief reason is generally helpful. The reason parameter displays when the mouse cursor is placed over the text the template inserts.
| String | suggested |
| Date | date | An optional date parameter that records when the tag was added. If this template is added without the date parameter, the date parameter will be added soon after by a [[WP:BOT|bot]].
