This article's lead sectionmay be too short to adequately summarize the key points. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Please consider expanding the lead to provide an accessible overview of all important aspects of the article.(June 2024)
If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you!
Place {{Lead too short|date=June 2024}} at the top of articles where the lead section is much shorter than what is recommended, relative to the length of the article. The appropriate length of the lead section depends on the total length of the article. If the lead fails to provide an adequate summary of the article's key points, without necessarily being too short, use the template {{lead rewrite}} instead.
You can use the |reason= parameter to specify the reason why the lead is too short, as in the following example:
{{Lead too short|date=June 2024|reason=Your critique here.}}
Do not use this template on stub articles. Stub articles are by definition underdeveloped articles - it is not yet appropriate to tag them as having a lead too short.
This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.
