Usage
{{Expand list|date=September 2024}}
Place this template tag in an article, immediately before any incomplete list. Wikipedia is not a directory, nor an indiscriminate collection of information; lists should have a clearly defined purpose and inclusion criteria. As such, an incomplete list is any well-defined list which is missing obvious entries.
This template categorizes pages into Category:Incomplete lists.
