Parameters and categories
The template supports the following optional parameters:
- section
- if present, the parameter |section will change the opening wording from "This article describes a work ..." to "This section describes a work ..."
- subject
- the subject as in "This ____-related article". The subject can be formatted as a wikilink to an article or WikiProject.
- described_object
- if present, described_object replaces "a work or element of fiction".
- category
- the cleanup category in which you wish to place the article, in the form [[Category:{{category}} articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction]]. For example, specifying "category=anime and manga" will place the article in Category:Anime and manga articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction.
