Template:Expert-subject
 | This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. (February 2025) |
Notes:
- Important: When adding this template to an article, state the specific issue that you believe a subject-matter expert needs to address – not "the whole page in general". This may be done using the
|reason=parameter and/or on the article's talk page. - Unexplained expert tags can be and should be removed by any editor.
- Realistically, do not expect a response when posting this tag. It is very rare for any subject-matter expert to respond as a result of seeing these tags.
This template flags an article for the attention of an expert or experts in the subject(s) specified. It has the option of being assigned to a specific subcategory of Category:Articles needing expert attention, depending on the topic of the article. These subcategories are named after Projects.
When to use[edit]
Use this tag when you have identified a specific issue that requires help from a subject-matter expert (not a generally knowledgeable Festipedia editor).
If you want help for most of the page, or if you want help soon, then try these much more effective options:
- Leave a note on the talk page of any relevant Projects.
- Ask for help at the Festipedia:The Den.
How to use[edit]
{{Expert-subject|Project|talk=|reason=|date=}}
Parameters[edit]
- The first unnamed parameter accepts the name of the Project
- A second optional unnamed parameter, may be used to override the default "article" text with, for example, "section", "diagram" or "paragraph".
- ex2–ex5: To add additional expert subjects, you can use these parameters to include more names of Projects.
- talk: If you have started a discussion on the article's talk page, you may link to that discussion with
|talk=, using the section title of the discussion. - reason: You may use the
|reason=parameter to provide a short explanation describing the issue directly within the template, instead of, or in addition to the talk parameter. - date: The date of adding the template may be used as the next parameter, in the form of Month Year.
Examples[edit]
{{Expert-subject|Technology|documentation|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date=Month Year}}
| This documentation needs attention from an expert in Technology. The specific problem is: reason goes here. (February 2025) |
{{Expert-subject|Technology|ex2=Science|ex3=Math|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date=Month Year}}
| This article needs attention from an expert in Technology, Science or Math. The specific problem is: reason goes here. (February 2025) |
Follow up[edit]
When using this template, it is recommended to provide an explanation either using the "reason" or the "talk" parameter. If the issue is of some urgency, you may also post a notice at the Project that was included in the template.
