This template is used to identify articles which, while understandable, have excessive information about trivial subjects and need to be refocused to suit a more general audience.

== Usage ==
;Full page
:<tt><nowiki>{{Overly detailed|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</tt>
;Section
:<tt><nowiki>{{Overly detailed|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|section=yes}}</tt>

"Date" and "section" are both optional. The "section" attribute, if included, customises the wording to apply only to a section of an article.

This template sorts articles into [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing style editing]].

This template should '''not''' be [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|subst'ed]].

== Redirects ==
* {{tl|Fancruft}}
* {{tl|Intricate detail}}

* {{tl|Trivia}}, a similar box suggesting the merging of basic trivia into prose in other sections.
* {{tl|Overly detailed-inline}}, for use inline for excessive or trivial detail.
* {{tl|Very long}}
