Template:Expert-subject/doc

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

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

{{Expert-subject|Project|talk=|reason=|date=}}

Parameters

• 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

{{Expert-subject|Technology|documentation|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date=Month Year}}

{{Expert-subject|Technology|ex2=Science|ex3=Math|talk=Section title goes here|reason=reason goes here|date=Month Year}}

Follow up

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.
