This [[Wikipedia:Template|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]].

== Usage ==
Add {{tl|In-universe}} to an article to tag it as needing this maintenance.
{{Tlx|{{PAGENAME}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

=== Parameters and categories ===
The template supports the following optional parameters:

; section: if present, the parameter <nowiki>|section</nowiki> 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 [[Wikipedia:Wikilink|wikilink]] to an article or [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]].

; described_object: if present, <code>described_object</code> replaces "a work or element of fiction".

; category: the cleanup category in which you wish to place the article, in the form <code><nowiki>[[Category:{{category}} articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction]]</nowiki></code>. For example, specifying "<code><nowiki>category=anime and manga</nowiki></code>" will place the article in [[:Category:Anime and manga articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction]].
