*This template should be added to articles which have no internal links. Articles which have ''some'' internal links, but are in need of more, should be tagged with <code>{{tl|underlinked}}</code> instead.
*An optional parameter can be specified to give other Wikipedians an idea of what general topic this article covers so that they may add links relevant to it.
*This template will add pages to [[:Category:Dead-end pages]] or one of its dated subcategories.
*If a parameter is provided such as <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Dead end|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code> then the page is put into a by-date category instead. Another way to do this is to paste the following to the page: <code><nowiki>{{subst:</nowiki>Dead end}}</code> If the date is left out, a [[Wikipedia:Bot policy|bot]] will add it.
*The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste<pre><nowiki>{{Dead end}}</nowiki></pre>to the '''top''' of an article. You may also drop it into the top of a section, but please specify the "|section" option to generate the proper template text.
*If you [[Wikipedia:Subst|subst:]] this template, the current date will be added to the template.
* Please do not include Category pages.
* Date tagging syntax: <code><nowiki>{{Dead end|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{Dead end|section|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
