 | This user has publicly declared that they have a conflict of interest regarding the Wikipedia article Example. |
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]Introduction
A user may place this tag on their user page to self-identify as having a conflict of interest ("COI") regarding one or more existing Wikipedia articles. Ideally, this tag should be placed on the user page by the user themself, rather than by another editor who may have identified the user as having a conflict of interest. But, in practice, anyone may place the tag.
Placing this tag on your user page will satisfy the requirement of the WP:COI guideline section "How to disclose a COI."
This tag does not need to be substituted: it can and should be used as is, without the subst: prefix.
If a user has made any significant contributions to a COI article (i.e., any contribution above the level of correcting layout, style, or grammar problems), that user is encouraged to also place the {{Connected contributor}} template on the article's talk page. Please see the documentation for that template in order to learn how to use it correctly.
