  • This template sorts articles into Category:Articles with excessive links.
  • This template should not be subst'ed.
  • To minimize this template's size, a non-fixed width was used. To have the template use the standard 80% width (such as when it fails to line up correctly with other templates), add "width=full" as a parameter: {{ExcessiveLinks|width=full}}.
