Template:Connected contributor/doc

• This template should be placed on article talk pages.
• The template adds articles to Category:Articles with connected contributors.
• Use this template when dealing with a general conflict of interest, including financial conflict of interest that does not involve being paid to edit Wikipedia. It can be used whether there is an actual (confirmed) or an apparent COI, but if the COI is unconfirmed do not add it without justifiably strong suspicion.
• If the COI has been disclosed, the "declared" field should be completed with "yes" and a diff to the disclosure provided in the "otherlinks" field.
• Do not use this template solely to identify an article subject as a Wikipedian.
• For paid editors, use {{Connected contributor (paid)}}.
