|section
or |1=section
– "This section appears to contradict ..." followed by "itself" or a link to an article named with |article=
|othersection
or |1=othersection

{{Self-contradictory|about=the cause of death|1=article|date=August 2024}}
{{Self-contradictory|othersection|date=August 2024}}

parameter need not be added by the editor: if not entered, a bot will soon add it. The date parameter consists of the full English name of the current month with initial capital, a space, and the year, not full dates, ISO date order, or other formatting; e.g., "January 2013", but not "jan13" or "7 January 2013" or "2013-01". Any deviation from this rule will result in an "invalid date parameter" error.TemplateData for Self-contradictory
