Usage

{{Top 25 report|date1|date2|date3|...}}

For readability, you may insert spaces and/or line breaks at the beginning and end of any parameter.

{{Top25
 | place       = Rank (1st, 2nd, 3d, etc.)
 | week        = link week article appeared on Top 25, e.g., [[Wikipedia:Top 25 Report/October 18 to 24, 2015|Oct 18-24, 2015]]
}}

Consecutive weeks

If listing multiple consecutive weeks, list the first, followed by the parameter "until", followed by the last.

{{Top 25 report|date1|until|date2|...}}

where date1 and date2 are multiple weeks apart
