Template documentationviewedithistorypurge

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

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

Placement

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=August 2026}}
