Parameters

All parameters are optional.

• section — changes wording to say "This section duplicates...". Place the template at the top of the section.

  Example: {{Duplication|section=yes}}

• dupe — adds a link referring to the section or article being duplicated, and adds the article to Category:Duplicate articles instead of Category:Articles in need of internal merging.
