Template:Mature content/doc

This template should be used on pages which cover content which may be unsuitable for children: too violent, sexual, or generally creepy. It is a warning that the work (usually a story) described in the article is more extreme than some may be comfortable with; it is not a licence to quote or reproduce that kind of content on the page.

Syntax

 * The template has two optional, named parameters. Both are available in visual mode; when used in source mode, their order is irrelevant.


 * The parameter  accepts four entries: ,  ,  , and  . If the parameter is not specified, it defaults to   and the template form seen at the top of the page.
 * The pagetypes  and   preclude use of the   parameter.

Usage notes

 * and  should be used on Gallery and Transcript pages, respectively. Affected images should also be enclosed in a collapsed table.
 * should be used only in cases where the majority of a work is not likely to elicit a negative reaction. Cases like this include games or stories with a dominant normal and a minor "dark" storyline, normal stories with problematic alternate endings, or derivative works with mature content. In all other cases, the default blanket template should be placed at the top of the article.
