+title: Illegal standalone kind signature
+summary: Program contains a standalone kind signature, but the active extensions do not allow it.
+severity: error
+introduced: 9.6.1
+---
+
+[Standalone kind signatures] can be used to specify a polymorphic
+kind for a type, to overcome kind inference restrictions:
+
+```haskell
+type T :: (k -> Type) -> k -> Type  -- standalone kind signature
+data T m a = MkT (m a) (T Maybe (m a))
+```
+
+Without the standalone kind signature, GHC would infer the kind
+`T :: (Type -> Type) -> Type -> Type`.
+
+Use of this feature requires the `StandaloneKindSignatures`
+extension to be enabled.  This extension is implied by
+`UnliftedDatatypes`, and included in the `GHC2021` and `GHC2024`
+language editions.
