Template:Empty section

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

To be placed in sections that are empty, containing neither text nor sub-sections. Before tagging an empty section, consider removing the section heading instead - for example, an empty "Gallery" or "External links" section can safely be deleted.
