== Usage ==
This template tags a statement for [[Wikipedia:basic copyediting|basic copyediting]], and should be placed after the statement.</p>
<code><nowiki>{{Copy edit inline|for=|date=</nowiki>{{#time: F Y }}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

Do not <code>[[Wikipedia:Substitution|subst:]]</code> this template.

This [[Wikipedia:Template messages|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Self-references to avoid|self-reference]].

=== Optional parameters ===
* This template takes the optional parameter {{para|for}} (a.k.a. {{para|reason}}) which can be used to change the hover text, ''e.g.'' {{para|for|The text preceding this tag needs copy editing for tone.}} The default value is "The text preceding this tag may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling.".
* This template takes the optional parameter {{para|date}}, with the format {{para|date|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}. An expedient way to enter it is <code><nowiki>|subst:{{DATE}}</nowiki></code> instead of using {{para|date}} directly.
* This template will auto-categorise tagged articles into [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit]], or a dated subcategory thereof. However, if the optional parameter and value '''{{para|categories|no}}''' is set, the template will not categorise the page.
