Template:Improve lead

Documentation

[purge]

This template should be used on pages that have an insufficient lead section that not summarizes correctly the article's content or doesn't have a lead section. It is preferable to use it on articles that have a clutttered lead section, as it is rare to see an article without one.

Usage

{{Improve lead|1|long=Specificator}}

• The |1= parameter adds a reason note.
• The |long= parameter changes the template for long lead section usage.
