Template:Incomplete list
 | This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items. |

Usage[kulemba source]
{{Incomplete list|date=Juni 2024}}
Place this template tag in an article, immediately before any incomplete list. Wikipedia is not a directory, nor an indiscriminate collection of information; lists should have a clearly defined purpose and inclusion criteria. As such, an incomplete list is any well-defined list which is missing obvious entries.
This template categorizes pages into Category:Incomplete lists.
Other, more specific versions of this template can be used, either by typing {{Incomplete list|<scope>|date=Juni 2024}} (replacing 'scope' with one of valid parameters listed in the TemplateData section) or by using one of the wrapper templates listed below.
TemplateData[kulemba source]

Wrapper templates[kulemba source]
The following wrapper templates can be used to identify a list with a specific topic and categorise the article into a corresponding more specific subcategory of Category:Incomplete lists.
