Usage

This template should not be used as a badge of shame. Do not use this template to "warn" readers about the article.

{{COI|date=May 2024}}

To tag a section, use {{COI|section|date=May 2024}}

When placing this tag, please also tag the talk page with {{Connected contributor}} so that other users know what the conflict of interest is.

If you have immediately corrected the problem there is no need for this COI clean-up tag, this is not a badge of shame.

The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies. Once these are addressed the COI tag should be removed.

For a template intended to warn someone with a possible COI, see Template:uw-coi.

Notes

This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles with possible conflicts of interest, or a dated subcategory thereof.

This template is a self-reference.

This template is not useful for substitution.
