When to use

[edit]

Add this to article sections that need help from other editors because they sound like advertisements. For example, they may tell users to buy the company's product, provide price lists, give links to online sellers, or use unencyclopedic or meaningless buzzwords.

The advert section tag is for sections that are directly trying to sell a product to our readers. Don't add this tag simply because the material in the section shows a company or a product in an overall positive light or because it provides an encyclopedic summary of a product's features.

This template adds articles to Category:Articles with a promotional tone.

How to use

[edit]

Place {{Advert section|date=September 2024}} at the top of the offending section.
