Location

If using a large, graphical template produces odd layout problems, like the excessive white space shown on the right of this screenshot, then switch to a different sister template.

☒N Do not place this template in the main body of the article.

☒N Do not place this template in a section containing columns.

This template is normally placed at the top of the external inks section. Please do not create an otherwise-empty ==External links== section for this template. Instead, consider using {{Wikinews-inline}}, or placing this template at the top of the last section on the page (usually a citation-related section). On disambiguation pages, this template should be listed above other text, but below any cleanup templates, images, infoboxes or navboxes.
