All works of fiction should have a plot summary.

• This template will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles without plot summaries.
• This template is a self-reference.
• This template should not be substituted.

Create a section called "Plot" and place {{ No plot|date=July 2024}} in it.

This template can refer to a section (or another article part), instead of the default article, like this: {{ No plot|section|date=July 2024}}.

If the article is missing multiple plot summaries, use |plural=yes.
