==Usage==
{{Tlx|Incomplete list|2=date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

Place this template tag in an article, immediately before any [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists#Incomplete lists|incomplete list]].  Wikipedia is [[WP:NOT|not a directory]], nor an [[WP:IINFO|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]].

Other, more specific versions of this template can be used, either by typing <code><nowiki>{{Incomplete list|<scope>|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> (replacing 'scope' with one of valid parameters listed in the TemplateData section) or by using one of the [[WP:WRAPPER|wrapper]] templates listed below.
