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

The {{Duplication span }} tag will categorise tagged articles into Category:All articles with minor POV problems. This template is a self-reference and thus is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.

When to use

[edit ]

Use this tag only if the material is repeated twice in the body of the article.

Placement

[edit ]

The template should be placed outside the reference (<ref> ... </ref>), within the article's text:

{{duplication span|text=place text that is repetitive here|date=November 2025}}
