| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Disputed tag. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
When to use
- Use this template to dispute whether a page (or a section on a page) has properly been accorded policy or guideline status.
- This template is only for ongoing, active disputes that are evidenced in talk page discussion. It is not intended for flagging a project page or section as vaguely controversial, nor for indicating a personal dislike of the document. There is no such thing as an indefinitely disputed policy or guideline. These tags should not be used as a badge of shame. If there is no active discussion, then the tag may be removed by any editor. For more information on the proper use of this tag, see WP:Policies and guidelines.
How to use
- Place {{Disputed tag}} at the top of the page or section that you intend to discuss.
- Optionally specify:
- Either, a talk page section:
{{Disputed tag|talk=Discussion}}will link "talk page" to Talk:PageName#Discussion. - Or, a full page-link: (usually to a centralized talk-page)
{{Disputed tag|talkpage=Talk:MyPage#Discussion}}will link "talk page" to Talk:MyPage#Discussion. - A short message about what to do instead -- for editors lacking time to analyze the current discussion:
msg=the default recommendation - Up to 5 Shortcut-links, as described for Template:Shortcut.
- If the tag applies strictly to a specific section of a policy or guideline, append the following parameter:
section=yes. This will cause the template to appear as:
- Either, a talk page section:
| The following section's wording or inclusion in this policy or guideline is disputed or under discussion. Please see the relevant talk page discussion for further information. |
- When adding this template, do not remove the policy or guideline tag, first because otherwise users cannot see what the dispute is about, and second because a dispute does not automatically revoke the policy or guideline. See WP:POL for details.
Alternatives
- Many times, your concerns can be addressed through a normal discussion, without placing this tag on the page.
- For proposals to change policies or guidelines, use
{{Under discussion}}instead (see that template's page for available options). If the proposal concerns a page's status as policy or guideline, use{{Under discussion|status}}. - If you disagree with a {{Historical}} tag, do not use this template; instead, advertise the page on e.g. WP:RFC and the village pump to get more people involved, so that it becomes active once more.
